Allen Smith Visiting Scholars Program

The Graduate School of Library & Information Science at Simmons
College, Massachusetts, is pleased to invite proposals for
participation in the Allen Smith Visiting Scholars Program, which
honors the memory of distinguished teacher and scholar Allen Smith.
Allen Smith Visiting Scholars are expected to be distinguished
practitioners, educators, or researchers renowned for their work in
reference, oral history, or the study of librarianship and information
service in the humanities. Opportunities include semester-long
visiting professorships, shorter-term lectureships, or presentation in
an annual lecture series. The program provides support for
transportation, honorarium, and related expenses depending on the
nature of participation, and is open to scholars worldwide.

Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a proposed time frame
and agenda of activities, and a statement outlining the applicant’s
qualifications and the benefits the applicant would bring to the
Simmons community. There is no deadline, except that proposals for
semester-long visiting professorships should be submitted at least a
year in advance of the proposed semester.
