CollectionBuilder LIS student program for Spring 2025

code4lib folks,


Last year we ran a CollectionBuilder LIS Student Program cohort (funded by
IMLS) and really enjoyed working with students from across the country–so
much so that we have decided to run a second round for Spring 2025! I am
hoping you can share the following opportunity to any channel that might
connect with current LIS students–or let me know if you have some ideas of
where to send it.



We appreciate your help!

Thank you,

Evan
