Nominations for 2009 are now open to UO faculty members who would like to suggest items for purchase. The deadline for proposing titles is March 6, 2009; the awards will be announced at the end of spring term.

Stanley B. Greenfield was a longtime professor of English at the University of Oregon, a member of the Friends of the Library Board of Directors, and a longtime personal advocate for the library.

In 2007, a total of six titles were purchased through the awards program, including:

  • Britain in India, 1765-1905, submitted by Randall McGowen, History. This six-volume set of scarce primary source materials offers evidence of the often subtle relationship between Britain and India during the period of imperial expansion.

  • Martin Luthers Werke. Weimarer Ausgabe: Abt. 4. Auflage 2003-09, submitted by Alexander Mathas, German and Scandinavian. Because of Martin Luther's enormous influence on Western culture, language, and literature, this collection is essential for cultural historians, Germanists, philosophers, theologians, and philologists to have access to his complete works in the German.

  • Multilateral treaty calendar-Répertoire des traités multilatéraux, 1648-1995, submitted by Ronald Mitchell, Political Science. This volume is considered the source for multilateral treaties of all sorts but is especially useful for treaties to which the United States is not a member.

  • Sefarad, submitted by David Wacks, Romance Languages. This journal deals with philology and textual criticism of the bible and its ancient versions, with the history and culture of the Jews in Spain, as well as with the language, literature, history and cultural production of the Sephardic people and of the people of the ancient biblical east.

  • Multilateral treaty calendar-Répertoire des traités multilatéraux, 1648-1995, submitted by Ronald Mitchell, Political Science. This volume is considered the source for multilateral treaties of all sorts but is especially useful for treaties to which the United States is not a member.

  • Die Nemertinen des Golfes von Neapel und der angrenzenden Meeres-Abschnitte, submitted by Alan Shanks, Oregon Institute of Marine Biology (Biology). This work is a rare and important monograph on the phylum Nemertea (ribbon worms) from the Mediterranean Sea.
