ALISE / Norman Horrocks Leadership AwardFirst awarded in 2009, the award recognizes a new ALISE member who has demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities in professional ALISE activities. This award addresses a number of concerns relevant to the Association, including:
Norman Horrocks began his career in libraries in Manchester, England, and worked in Cyprus, Western Australia, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, before joining Dalhousie University in 1971. He became director of the School of Library and Information Studies (now the School of Information Management) and was later dean of the Faculty of Management. Known for his kindness, generosity, and his prodigious memory and knowledge of library history, Norman served as a mentor to countless librarians and information professionals throughout his life. In 2006, Norman was named an Officer of the Order of Canada in recognition of his lifetime devotion to library and information science.
