Back by popular demand! The CARLI Digital Collections Users’ Group is pleased to announce that registration is open for a workshop on writing digital imaging grants. Two of these grant-writing workshops were given last year, in anticipation of the Illinois State Library’s LSTA grants for digitization. The sessions were so popular that we are offering them again this year.

The trainer for the workshop is Alyce Scott, Digital Imaging Program Coordinator at the Illinois State Library.

The workshop will be held twice, once in Chicago and once in Springfield. The information covered in each workshop will be the same. Please register for only one workshop. In addition, since space at the workshops is limited, registration is limited to one person per institution. If space is still available later, we will open the registration up to more than one person per institution.

Topics that will be covered include:

• Potential Funders
  
• Planning for the Grant Project
  
• Elements of the Grant Proposal (focus will be on Illinois LSTA digital imaging grants)
  
• Evaluating the Proposal
  
• Helpful Hints

The bulk of the workshop will be spent on the elements of the proposal – how they should be written and how they will be evaluated.

Locations and Dates:
Tuesday, February 24, 2009, at the Illinois State Library in Springfield. If inclement weather causes us to cancel the session on this date, a “snow date” for the training has been scheduled for Thursday, February 26.
