From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rudolph Hjalmar Gjelsness, first recipient of the Beta Phi Mu Award in 1954, was dean of the University of Michigan Library Science Department from 1940 to 1964.

The Beta Phi Mu Award is an annual prize recognizing an individual for distinguished service to education for librarianship. First bestowed in 1954, Award recipients include various prominent leaders in the field of librarianship.[1] The Award is sponsored by the international honor society Beta Phi Mu (ΒΦΜ or βφμ), founded in 1948 to promote scholastic achievement among library and information science students.

The printer's mark of Aldus Manutius, the dolphin and anchor seen here on a 1558 title page, serves as the insignia of Beta Phi Mu.
