The Bernadine Abbott Hoduski Founders Award recognizes documents librarians who may not be known at the national level but who have made significant contributions to the field of state, international, local, or federal documents. This award recognizes those whose contributions have benefitted not only the individual's institution but also the profession. Achievements in state, international, or local documents librarianship will receive first consideration. The award winner receives a plaque.
Other Pacific Northwest recipients of the Bernadine Abbott Hoduski Founders Award include the 2005 recipient retired government documents librarian Sue Selmer from Everett Public Library and 2007 recipient Thomas Stave from the University of Oregon.
