Hi Sheila,

 

Just to clarify, is this restricted only to BIPOC Library and Archives Students and Workers in Michigan? Thanks for promoting this great opportunity ��

 

Best,

 

Adriana

Boosting this! The deadline to apply is May 31st and I'm happy to answer any questions! We have very few applications so you're very likely to get funded if you apply!

Hello all,

Please see the below opportunity from the Michigan Academic Library Association:

Recognizing that the COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated deep-seated inequities within librarianship and society as a whole, particularly impacting library workers and students who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color; and in support of the precedent set by ACRL in creating their ACRL Funding for BIPOC Library Workers initiative, the MiALA Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) Committee, with the support of the MiALA board, have launched the Membership Funding for BIPOC Library and Archives Students and Workers initiative.

This initiative will fund membership for 1 year for 10 library/archives students, as well as membership for 1 year for 5 library/archives workers.

In order to be considered for this membership funding, applicants must identify as a Black, Indigenous, and/or as a Person of Color.

Consideration will be extended to those who
- serve underrepresented populations
- have experienced household job loss or furlough in 2020
- are considered early-career professionals (less than 5 years experience)

 

You do not have to be a current member of MiALA to apply. The application closes on May 31st and can be accessed here: https://www.memberleap.com/members/form_edit.php?org_id=MALA&fid=4887679

 

All best,
