Project Euclid Receives 2011 PAM Division Award

Project Euclid --- the premier platform and information community 
for mathematics and statistics resources from independent 
publishers --- received the 2011 Division Award from the 
Physics-Astronomy-Mathematics (PAM) Division of the Special 
Libraries Association. Project Euclid is jointly managed by 
Cornell University Library and Duke University Press.

Given annually, this award recognizes significant contributions 
to the literature of physics, mathematics, or astronomy, and 
honors work that demonstrably improves the exchange of 
information within these three disciplines. The award also takes 
into consideration projects that benefit libraries.

"It is an honor for Project Euclid to receive the Special Library 
Association's PAM Award," said Mira Waller, Project Euclid 
Manager. "PAM is a community of peers and a strong voice for 
librarians and information experts around the world. In receiving 
this award I feel that Project Euclid is fulfilling its core 
mission of disseminating scholarly information in the fields of 
mathematics and statistics."

"The PAM Division Award is a real honor," said David Ruddy, 
Cornell's Project Euclid lead and Director of Scholarly 
Communications Services at Cornell University Library. "It is 
also validation that through strong collaborations the academy 
can effectively address challenges facing scholarly 
communications."

Cornell University Library launched Project Euclid in 2000. In 
2008, Cornell and Duke University Press established a 
collaborative partnership agreement to jointly manage and expand 
the project. Its mission is to advance scholarly communication in 
the field of theoretical and applied mathematics and statistics. 
It is designed to address the unique needs of low-cost 
independent and society journals.
