Each year, since 1986, Reference Service Press has sponsored the Reference Service Press Award, which is offered through the Reference and User Services Association (RUSA) of the American Library Association. The award, now $2,500 a year, is presented to the author(s) of the most outstanding article published in Reference and User Services Quarterly, the official journal of RUSA, during the preceding two volume years. The competition for this award is stiff, and these award-winning articles represent the best of the best in reference literature!
