DLF Forum Fellowships for Librarians New to the Profession Nominations 

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: Monday, September 10th, 2007. 

RATIONALE
Our digital library operations often contain librarians, staff, and assistants who are lively, intellectually engaged, and inquisitive, but who are not always routinely funded to travel to conferences where they can learn more about the library profession, see digital initiatives from other institutions, and meet leaders in the profession.

We all have an interest in encouraging newcomers to the profession, and to further this aim the DLF is pleased to continue the DLF Forum Fellowships. The Forums remain an excellent place to hear about the latest advances in digital librarianship, to meet new colleagues and contacts, and to get involved with DLF initiatives. For more information, please see: http://www.diglib.org/forums.htm 

THE AWARD
Four awards of up to $1,000 each to go towards the travel, board, and lodging expenses of attending a DLF Forum. 
Dinner at the conference with the other Forum Fellows and selected DLF members, to be hosted by the DLF Executive Director. 
ELIGIBILITY
Nominations must come from DLF member institutions (although it is possible for a DLF member to nominate an individual from any other academic library). 

Each DLF member institution is permitted to submit one candidate per Forum for this award. 

The following full and part-time individuals are eligible: 

Library employees (faculty, librarians, or staff) who have been in the profession for 3 years or less; 
and whose work is wholly or predominantly in some area of the digital library. 
Graduate and undergraduate student assistants who, although only working part-time, make a significant contribution to a digital library endeavor and who may be considering a digital library career. 
Please note: each DLF member institution is permitted to submit one candidate per Forum for this award.

APPLICATION
Send an e-mail to by Monday September 10th, 2007 containing electronic copies of the following items to Barrie Howard, bhoward "at" diglib "dot" org, with the subject line text "Fall Forum 2007 Fellowship Application: [candidate's name]" and the following attachments PDF or Word files: 

* Brief personal statement (500 words or less) from the candidate explaining their educational background, what their Digital Library involvement is, why they are excited about Digital Library work, and how they see themselves benefiting from a DLF Forum. 
* Cover letter from the nominating institution's University Librarian, Program Director, Division Head, or Associate University Librarian. 
* A current résumé. 

Optional letters of support such as those from a supervisor, a library colleague, or a library patron are welcome and permitted, but not required.

EVALUATION
Candidates will be selected by the Forum Program Committee. In assessing the applications, the Committee will look for a demonstrated commitment to digital library work as evidenced by work experience and academic background, and will consider the degree to which Forum participation might influence the applicant's decision to pursue a digital library career. They will also make sure that the applicants meet the basic eligibility requirements.
