RESEARCH GRANTS AVAILABLE
The Research Committee of the American Association of Law Libraries is
accepting applications through April 12, 2004 for grants from the AALL
Research Fund. The Committee will award one or more grants totaling up to
$5,000 to library professionals who want to conduct research that affects
librarianship.
Established with an endowment from LexisNexis in July 2000, the annual
grants fund projects that create, disseminate or use legal and law-related
information. The AALL Research Agenda offers suggestions for research
projects that cover the profession of law librarianship, law library
patrons, law library services, legal research and bibliography, legal
information resources and law library facilities. However, projects are
not limited to those described in the Agenda; the Committee will consider
all applications and research projects. To review the AALL Research
Agenda, please go to: http://www.aallnet.org/committee/research/agenda.asp
To apply for the grants, all applicants must provide resumes and
statements of their qualifications for carrying out their projects. The
applications must demonstrate experience with research projects and an
understanding of the dissemination and use of legal and law-related
information. Priority will be given to practicing law librarians and AALL
members, working individually or in partnership with other information
professionals. The grant application and complete guidelines are
available at: http://www.aallnet.org/about/grant_application.asp
The submission deadline for applications is April 12. Grants will be
awarded and announced by July 1. Allocation of the research grants will
be at the sole discretion of the AALL Research Committee.
