Librarian Scholarship

The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), a division of the American Library Association, is the professional association of academic librarians. ACRL is dedicated to enhancing the ability of academic library and information professionals to serve the information needs of the higher education community and to improve learning, teaching, and research. This scholarship is to provide opportunities for librarians with five or fewer years of post-MLS experience to update their skills and knowledge by participating in an ACRL conference and gain professional development experience. There were 190 applicants, and 60 librarians were awarded eventually.
