EBSCO offers five scholarships to attend 2010 ALA Midwinter Meeting


CHICAGO - The American Library Association (ALA) and EBSCO are
partnering to offer five scholarships for librarians to attend the 2010
ALA Midwinter Meeting in Boston. The meeting takes place Jan. 15-19,
2010, and offers an opportunity for continuing education, meetings and
interaction with colleagues.
Each EBSCO scholarship will be in the amount of $1,500, and one of the
five scholarships will be awarded to a first-time conference attendee.
The scholarship money is to be used for conference registration, travel
and expenses. 

Deadline for entry is Nov. 23, 2009, and the application information can
be found at:
www.ala.org/ala/awardsgrants/awardsrecords/ebscosponsorship/ebscosponsor

Scholarship recipients will be notified no later than Dec. 15, 2009.  

To apply, candidates must complete the application criteria and submit
an essay that answers the following question: "What do you believe to be
the biggest challenge in managing electronic resources in libraries
today, and what solutions do you envision?" Essays and applications will
be judged by a jury designated by ALA.
