D.J. Morrison Grant re-opened
The deadline for travel grant applications for the WestPac annual meeting in Spokane passed last week, but the committee received no applications for the DJ Morrison travel grant, which provides financial assistance to an electronic services librarian who would like to attend the annual meeting. This year’s DJ Morrison grant is for $500.
The committee would like to honor the spirit in which the grant was created so we are re-opening the application period for the DJ Morrison grant until August 14 and we encourage electronic services librarians (or those who have responsibilities that include electronic services) to apply. We did receive applications for the WestPac travel grant, so we will not be accepting additional applications for that grant.
More information and grant applications are available on the WestPac website: http://chapters.aallnet.org/westpac/grants.asp. Please contact me with any questions.
Register NOW
Registration for the annual meeting in Spokane is now open! Join us Oct. 10-12 at the Historic Davenport Hotel for a program covering a range of interesting topics including archival practices, workplace efficiency tools, Drag Queen Story Hours, online teaching and more. Our keynote speaker, Elizabeth Kelley, a criminal defense lawyer with a nationwide practice focused on representing people with mental disabilities, is also the editor the 2018 ABA book, Representing People with Mental Disabilities: A Practical Guide for Criminal Defense Lawyers. Our opening reception will be at the Jundt Art Museum and you’ll have the chance to tour the Chastek Law Library on the Gonzaga campus.
