SWALL Grants

The SWALL Grants Committee is pleased to announce the availability of grants to attend the 50th Annual Meeting, April 10-14, 2008, to be held aboard the Carnival Cruise ship Ecstasy.

We will be awarding one grant for $1000 and two travel grants for $850 each. In addition, the Executive Board has approved three grants in the amount of $1000 each in honor of our 50th Meeting--these special grants are to assist those librarian's whose institutions prohibit reimbursement for travel outside the United States. This year's theme is Navigating the Sea of Information: Celebrating 50 Years of SWALL. The deadline for applications for the SWALL Annual Meeting is October 26, 2007.

We also have one grant for $1500 available to attend the 2008 AALL Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon. The deadline for this grant is May 12, 2008.

Please visit the SWALL website for application guidelines, eligibility and forms at http://www.aallnet.org/chapter/swall/grants/index.html. If you have any questions, please let us know.
