T. Mark Hodges International Service Award

The T. Mark Hodges International Service Award was established in 2007 to honor outstanding individual achievement in promoting, enabling, and/or delivering improvements in the quality of health information internationally through the development of health information professionals, the improvement of libraries, or increased use of health information services. Membership in MLA is not required. Nominees usually would hold a professional library or information science qualification but in the case of exceptional candidates, this criterion may be waived. The award is designed to enable MLA to recognize the widest range of achievements in the development of health information services in the international context. It will normally recognize a professional contribution over a sustained period of time, but may also mark a single, outstanding achievement of global significance.
