In an effort to increase the diversity and inclusiveness of this community and to promote the broadest possible participation at the 2019 Library Publishing Forum, the LPF Diversity and Inclusion Subcommittee is pleased to offer the second annual Library Publishing Forum Award. This year, we are offering three awards of $1,200 each plus conference registration, to aid individuals from diverse backgrounds in attending and contributing at the Forum. The awards may be applied towards airfare, hotel, and other travel-related expenses. To help them get the most out of the conference, awardees will be paired with a mentor. Awardees will also be asked to reflect on their experience at the Forum in a post for the LPC Blog.
To apply for an award, please fill out the application form. Applications are due by midnight (Eastern Standard Time) on Sunday, February 03.
The Forum’s Diversity and Inclusion Subcommittee will review applications and recommend awardees to the Program Committee, which will award the scholarships. Applicants will be notified before the end of February.
Email contact@librarypublishing.org with questions.
