The Bernadine Abbot Hoduski Award recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the field of state, international, local or Federal documents; contributions whose impact while not at the national level, have benefited not only the candidate's institution but also the profession.
Since 2005, four out of the five recipients have been Northwest librarians. From Washington, Sue Selmer (2005), Tom Stave (2007), and Eleanor Chase (2009); and from Idaho Lily Wai (2008).
Bernadine Abbott Hoduski is a retired Northwest librarian from Montana who worked as a librarian for the Environmental Protection Agency and was responsible for creating the numbering system of EPA publications.
