The goal of the AMIA + DLF Travel Award is to bring developers and software engineers who can provide unique perspectives to preserving and providing access to digital audiovisual media to the conference. These “cross-pollinators” can enrich the Hack Day event and share a vision of the library world from their perspective.

After the conference and Hack Day, the recipient will be required to write a blog post about their experience, to be published by DLF.
