ILUG 2012 Annual Business Meeting Grant
Applications for this grant will be accepted by the current Chair of ILUG, on or before March 1, 2012 (see below or sidebar for form).
The selected grant recipient will be employed at a library that is a member of ILUG (officers of ILUG are eligible), and will register for and attend the following two events within the same calendar year, as a representative of ILUG:
- The Innovative Users Group (IUG) conference
- Taking notes of their IUG learning experiences, as relevant to ILUG member libraries.
- ILUG annual business meeting at the conference of the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL).
- Reporting back to ILUG members a summary and/or highlights of their IUG learning experiences, in a 10-15 minute presentation.
- Providing an equivalent written report to post on the ILUG web site.
In exchange for the above conditions, the selected grant recipient will receive funds toward defraying the cost of attending the ILUG annual business meeting at AALL 2012. The amount of ILUG funding available, combined with the financial support expected from the applicant's institution as described in the application, will uniquely determine the grant award.
ILUG will fund up to one grant in any given year, and the Chair-appointed Grants Committee may select zero recipients if there are no applicants or the applicants are determined to be insufficiently qualified.
Grant recipients are not eligible to apply again for three years.
The ILUG Chair will notify recipient two weeks prior to the beginning of the IUG meeting.
