Deadline: November 1, 2012
Notification to Award Recipients: December 1, 2012
The ALISE Youth Services SIG seeks graduate student applications for the
ALISE / University of Washington Information School Youth Services Graduate
Student Travel Award, which supports costs associated with travel to, and
participation in, the 2013 ALISE Annual Conference in Seattle, WA.
This award is open to students currently enrolled (at the time of the ALISE
conference) in an LIS graduate program (including both doctoral and master’s
studies) with a concentration in youth services, broadly defined to include
materials and library/information services for children and young adults in
both everyday life and library settings. Applicants must be members of the
Youth Services SIG and must be actively participating in the 2013 ALISE
conference (e.g., presenting a poster or a paper, serving as a member of a
panel, interviewing for a faculty position). The award amount is $750, and an
individual may only receive the award once. Additional information about the
award is available at http://www.alise.org/Youth%20Services%20Graduate%20Student%20Travel%20Award
Interested graduate students should submit an application which must include:
(1) a letter (no more than one page, single-spaced) describing the individual’s
interest and work in the youth services area; (2) evidence of participation (or
submission to participate) in the upcoming conference (e.g., poster/paper/panel
acceptance/application); and (3) a current CV. Applications will be adjudicated
by a panel consisting of three members of the Youth Services SIG, selected and
coordinated by the current year’s SIG chair(s).
Applications for the 2012 ALISE / University of Washington Information
School Youth Services Graduate Student Travel Award should be submitted
electronically (as attached PDF or Word file) no later than 11:59 p.m. on
