*/Sage Support Staff Travel Grants awarded/*
CHICAGO—Six library support staff members have each been awarded a 2008
ALCTS/SAGE Library Support Staff Travel Grant. These grants, generously
sponsored by Sage Publications, provide airfare, three nights’ hotel and
conference registration for the individuals to attend the 2008 American
Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference to be held in Anaheim,
Calif. Those receiving the travel grant this year are:
Behzad Allahyar, Persian & Arabic language specialist in serials and
e-resources cataloging, UCLA, Los Angeles, Calif.
Gary Beer, senior library specialist, Southern Illinois University,
Carbondale, Ill.

Fayetteville, Ark.
Michelle Schrade, library assistant, Glendale Public Library, Glendale,
Ariz.
Angela Slaughter, fast track serials cataloger, Indiana University, Ind.
Israel Yanez, library assistant, California State University,
Sacramento, Calif.
For the past four years, travel grants have been offered to support
staff working in an area of technical services and collection, with at
least three years of experience, who have never before attended an ALA
annual conference. The 2008 award recipients demonstrated outstanding
commitment to the profession, active participation in local and
paraprofessional associations, as well as the professional life of their
respective institutions, and evidence of a clear desire to serve their
library communities. Above all, each of these candidates demonstrated a
genuine love of and deep commitment to libraries.
The awards will be presented on Sunday, June 29, 2008, at the ALCTS
Awards Ceremony during the 2008 American Library Association (ALA)
meeting in Anaheim, Calif.
