A reminder that a week from Friday, June 14th, is the application deadline for the ARL Initiative to Recruit a Diverse Workforce (IRDW). The IRDW is an ARL member funded diversity recruitment program that provides a suite of financial benefits and developmental opportunities for master of library and information science students from traditionally underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups with career interests in research libraries.
The call for applications and the link to the necessary forms can be found on the ARL website:

Students enrolling in MLIS programs beginning in the fall of 2013 or students currently enrolled with at least one full academic year remaining in their studies (please see announcement for guidelines) are eligible to apply. Applications will be considered from students from all academic disciplines.
Please distribute this announcement as appropriate and pardon duplicate postings.
All best wishes,
