IGI Global's Academic Librarian Sponsorship Program

As a leading publisher of scholarly publications and databases, IGI Global seeks to support the advancement of resources and services in academic libraries. As part of this initiative, we are proud to continue our Academic Librarian Sponsorship Program, which sponsors librarians’ attendance of the industry’s most important events.

In an ongoing effort to help librarians grow professionally and increase their understanding of the changing state of knowledge resources, IGI Global will award one librarian a $500 stipend for attendance of the following conference(s) in 2013:

  • 2013 American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference: June 27th- July 2nd in Chicago, IL
  • 2013 Charleston Conference: November 6th-9th in Charleston, SC


To apply for sponsorship opportunities, librarians are asked to submit a 250-word essay on why they should be awarded the stipend, describing the following:

  • How can publishers and librarians best interact to further the advancement of knowledge resources?
  • How will their own knowledge of the industry help librarians enhance uses of modern technology in their institutions?
  • How can librarians help make cutting-edge resources for students and faculty more discoverable?

For more information regarding the ALA Annual Conference, please visit http://ala13.ala.org/. Deadline for submission for ALA 2013 is Friday, June 7th.
