Applications Sought for $1,425 in Research Grants to be Awarded This
Spring from the AALL Research Fund: An Endowment Established by
LexisNexis(r)
The AALL Research and Publications Committee is accepting applications
through Friday, March 27, 2009 for research grants from the AALL
Research Fund, totaling up to $1,425.
The committee will award one or more grants to library professionals who
wish to conduct research that supports the research/scholarly agenda of
the profession of librarianship. Established with a generous endowment
from LexisNexis in July 2000, the annual grants fund small or large
research projects that create, disseminate or use legal and law-related
information. Projects may range from the historical (indexes,
legislative histories, bibliographies, biographies, or directories) to
the theoretical (trends in cataloging, publishing, or new service models
in libraries) to the practical (implementation models for collection,
personnel, or infrastructure management).
The AALL Research Agenda offers suggestions for possible research
projects that cover a wide segment of professional interest, including
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, and the committee will consider all
applications and research projects. To review AALL's Research
Agenda, please visit 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 should demonstrate experience with research projects and an
understanding of the dissemination and use of legal and law-related
information. Priority will be given to individual AALL members or AALL
members working partnership with other information professionals. The
grant application and complete guidelines are available at:
www.aallnet.org/about/grant_application.asp.
The submission deadline for applications is Friday, March 27, 2009.
Grants will be awarded and announced in May 2009. Allocation of the
research grants will be at the sole discretion of the AALL Research and
Publications Committee.
