Librarians for the 21st Century

Program Vitals

Deadline December 15, 2004

Awards Announced
Mid-June (sudah terlambat, tetapi kita bisa ikutan untuk tahun2
mendatang)

Amount of Grant
$50,000 - $1 million

Grant Period
Up to three years

Matching Requirements
Fifty percent of total project costs, excluding funds requested for
student support

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.

The Genomics Market Report

The aim of this report is to provide in depth information on the developing
market for genomics products and services.

The report will include detailed market analyses and discussions of industry
trends in order to assess the impact of genomics on the current and emerging
pharmaceutical and diagnostic markets.

Forecasts and trends were developed from interviews with industry sources,
as well as from assessment of available and emerging technologies.

The report develops forecasts for genomics-based products, services, and
applications from 2000 through 2005.

Digital Library and archive solutions :MyCoRe

Satu lagi aplikasi OSS menarik untuk Content Repositories

http://www.mycore.de/engl/index.html
bisa donlod di:
http://www.mycore.de/download.html

Project Description 
MyCoRe is an Open Source project for the development of Digital
Library and archive solutions (or, put more generally, "Content
Repositories" >> CoRe). In the MyCoRe project a group of universities
is working on the development of a shared software core for such
applications. This core is adjustable to local requirements and easy
to modify. This is expressed by the "My" in MyCoRe, which represents
the local adaptability. On the basis of this core which is available
under the open source GNU General Public License, specific local
applications will emerge at the participating institutes. The
technical base of the system is formed of Java class libraries, XML
technology and implementations for various database backends, both
commercial like IBM Content Manager and IBM DB2 or Open Source
solutions like MySQL and XML:DB databases.

Eprints for Library and Information Science (E-LIS)

Eprints for Library and Information Science (E-LIS)
http://eprints.rclis.org/

Eprints for Library and Information Science (E-LIS) is an
international open access archive for eprints related to
Librarianship, Information Science and Technology, and related
application activities, in keeping with the objectives of the
EPrints
movement and the Free Online Scholarship (FOS) movement.The purpose
of E-LIS archive is to make the full text of the LIS documents
visible, accessible, harvestable, searchable and useable by any
potential user with access to the Internet. Furthermore this service
aims to support individuals who wish to publish or otherwise make
their papers available worldwide. Open access to LIS papers and
their
dissemination can also support the building of international LIS
networks.

Who are the partners of the initiative?

Eprints for LIS has been established as a community service by RCLIS
(Research in Computing, Library and Information Science) and DoIS
(Documents in Information Science) to promote open access to papers
on these fields. RCLIS is a project to build a database about
current
and past documents in computing, librarianship, information science
and technology and related application activities. It is aimed to
extend and update DoIS, a service for finding and downloading
articles and conference proceedings published in electronic format
in
the area of librarianship, information science and technology and
related application activities. See credits page.

Why an Eprint server for LIS fields?

Nowadays the library and information world is strongly integrated
with the area of computing science and technology. Moreover,
institutional metadata creation proves costly, while a more
effective
way out is provided the growing trend towards authors' self
archiving
in the framework of the Open Archives Initiative (OAI). A flexible
architecture of data and service providers based on metadata
harvesting allows authors to store a copy of their documents in some
personal or institutional archive, and so the documents become
quickly available worldwide.

Is the E-LIS Archive free access?

Eprints for Library and Information Science (E-LIS) access is
totally
free to any user. Users can freely browse, search and access the
full-
text without ever having to identify themselves to the server. If
you
wish to submit a work do you need to register. We encourage
librarians, libriaries, institutes, organizations and individual
researchers involved in LIS and correlated fields to utilize and
contribute to this service. The more papers that are made available,
the more useful will the archive become
