RUSA awards

The Reference and User Services Association (RUSA) is a division of the American Library Association (ALA). In 1972, the Adult Services Division and the Reference Services Division of the ALA were merged into the Reference and Adult Services Division (RASD), which created the RUSA in 1996.

RUSA gives out annual awards to notable books, media, and professional librarians. Awards are selected by RUSA's Collection Development and Evaluation Section (CODES) committees, the Business Reference and Service Section (BRASS), and the History Section (HS).

Book and Media Awards include "Notable Books for Adults", selected by the RUSA Notable Books Council since 1944. The Notable Books Council is in the RUSA CODES Section. RUSA also recognizes outstanding professional achievement in reference librarianship and its many specialties with annual achievement awards at the division level and by each section.
