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 conferences in 2012:
- ALA Annual in Anaheim, California from June 21-26, 2012
- Charleston Conference in Charleston, South Carolina from November 7-10, 2012
To apply for these 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?
All interested librarians must submit their essay by May 27, 2012 to be considered for the ALA Annual award and by September 12, 2012 for the Charleston Conference award.
