For the third year in a row the LLNE Service Committee, with the support of the LLNE Executive Board, is administering a scholarship for New England non-law public librarians to attend our chapter’s award-winning Legal Research Instruction Program. ( http://llne.org/legalresearchinstruction/intro_course/)
The LLNE Service Committee wishes to encourage and support access to legal information and education for New England-based librarians working in non-law public libraries. As part of its ongoing service initiative of outreach and service to local non-law public libraries, the Service Committee has elected to offer up to two scholarships for public librarians to attend LLNE’s annual Legal Research Instruction Program (LRIP).
Information about the scholarship can be found on the LLNE website (http://llne.org/committees/service/#publiclibrarianscholarships)
The application is also available online. (http://llne.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/LLNE_Intro_Scholarship_2016.docx)
The deadline for submission is Monday, February 29, 2016.
Completed applications should be sent to Nicole Dyszlewski at ndyszlewski@rwu.edu.
We are advertising this scholarship on various listservs throughout our region. We are asking all members to share this announcement widely and to recommend this scholarship for those public librarians who may be interested in a law-related professional development opportunity.
If you have any questions, please email one of our committee co-chairs, Jessica Jones (jjones@socialaw.com) or Joshua LaPorte (joshua.laporte@uconn.edu)
