Funding is available to award up to two (2) Spang Scholarships per year. The $6500 tuition award is designed to support advanced, elective study for a student with extreme financial need who demonstrates career plans to serve as a public librarian or school media specialist in an underserved, urban community in the Detroit metropolitan area. Scholarship recipients will be selected prior to starting the MLIS but tuition funds will be delayed until the recipient has achieved candidacy (successful completion of 9 hours in the MLIS program). SLIS Diversity Recruitment Scholarship The School of Library and Information Science is pleased to announce the availability of a $5000 tuition scholarship for incoming students from an underrepresented group.

ALA Survey for members and Non-members
by Trish Burns 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

Please consider taking a few minutes to read the message below and participate in the survey if you wish. The ALA Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion was created in the spring of 2014 by then ALA President Barbara Stripling. The Task Force is currently in the information-gathering phase. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/tfedi1web To aid with information gathering, it has launched a series of short surveys to be conducted at times to coincide with the ALA Midwinter Meetings and Annual Conferences through 2016. These surveys are designed to help understand the culture of the association, the profession and our communities with respect to equity, diversity and inclusion. The first survey presents the definitions created by the task force - equity, diversity, and inclusion - and asks individuals to consider ALA's current alignment with those definitions. The survey can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/tfedi1web. Responses will be collected through Feb. 16, 2015. ALA members and nonmembers are encouraged to participate. The final, analyzed results of the survey will be reported by April 2015 via the Task Force's ALA Connect community and distributed through various ALA channels. Please take a few minutes to answer the survey, which should take no more than seven minutes to complete. "Embracing and celebrating diversity and creating a more inclusive profession have been long-standing goals of the American Library Association. With your help, we hope to ensure these values are upheld," said Task Force co-Chairs Trevor A. Dawes and Martin L. Garnar. The ALA Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion's charge is to develop a plan and strategic actions to build more equity, diversity and inclusion among our members, the field of librarianship and our communities. The most important Task Force outcome is the public and honest conversation that generated by its plan and recommended actions. The final Task Force report will include recommendations for ensuring that a continuing focus on equity, diversity and inclusion is embedded throughout the ALA organization.

She utilizes both traditional and contemporary book structures, and the work is often playful in content or format. Hanmer exhibits internationally, and her work is included in collections ranging from The Getty Museum and the Library of Congress to Michigan State University and Graceland. She is a leader in the book arts community, having served on the editorial board of The Bonefolder, as Exhibitions Chair for the Guild of Book Workers, and as frequent exhibition curator and juror.
