The purpose of this grant is to extend a unique opportunity to attend ER&L to a library professional who would not typically go to the Electronic Resources & Libraries Conference but who can identify a connection with their work. The goal of the DLF+ER&L Travel Award is to bring a cross-pollinator—a library professional to ER&L who can provide unique perspectives to our work and share a vision of the library world from their perspective—to the conference. The travel grant includes a conference registration, air travel costs and housing in Austin up to $1,500.
Applicants will be required to supply contact information as well as to indicate to how access to the ER&L conference may assist the applicant in achieving an expansion of their professional horizons. It is important for the applicant to describe what he or she can uniquely bring to the conference. The winning applicant must be able to travel to Austin in April 2016.
The applicant should be a practicing library professional seeking more exposure on the trends in e-resources and digital services who has not attended ER&L and is willing to share their perspective with the ER&L community.
Applications are due by Wednesday, January 27, 2016. The awardee will be notified no later than February 5, 2016.
