Program Overview
The program supports efforts to recruit and educate the next
generation of librarians and the faculty who will prepare them for
careers in library science. It also supports grants for research
related to library education and library staffing needs, curriculum
development, and continuing education and training. Program
priorities:
Priorities for Funding
Priority 1: Master's Level Programs
Educate the next generation of librarians. In particular, increase
the number of students enrolled in nationally accredited graduate
library programs preparing for careers in libraries.
Priority 2: Doctoral Programs
Develop faculty to educate the next generation of library
professionals. In particular, increase the number of students
enrolled in doctoral programs that will prepare faculty to teach
master's students who will work in school, public, and academic
libraries.
Develop the next generation of library leaders. In particular,
increase the number of students enrolled in doctoral programs that
will prepare them to assume positions as library managers and
administrators.
Priority 3: Pre-Professional Programs
Recruit future librarians. In particular, attract promising high
school and college students to consider careers in librarianship
through recruitment strategies that are cost effective and
measurable.
Priority 4: Research
Provide the library community with information needed to support
successful recruitment and education of the next generation of
librarians. In particular, through funded research, establish
baseline data on professional demographics and job availability, and
evaluate current programs in library education for their capacity to
meet the identified needs.
Priority 5: Programs to Build Institutional Capacity
Develop or enhance curricula within graduate schools of library and
information science. In particular, develop new courses and programs
in critical areas such as leadership, research methods, and digital
librarianship.
Priority 6: Continuing Education and Training
Support model programs of continuing education and training in
library and information science. Proposals should address retention
issues as well as intended learning outcomes.
Successful proposals will effect one or more of the following
outcomes: increase the number of qualified professionals for
employment as librarians throughout the country, contribute to
results or products that will benefit multiple institutions and
diverse constituencies, reflect an understanding of library service
needs in the communities served by the applicant, and address issues
facing libraries of similar size and type, or reflect a vision of
potential change in the field that could result from the project.
Innovative approaches to these issues will be given high
consideration.
