The SALALM Scholarship has been established to encourage professional
and leadership development in Latin American and Caribbean Studies
academic librarianship. To be awarded biannually commencing in December
2011, the $1000 is for a master's candidate in an archival studies or
ALA-accredited library or information studies program.
Since its founding in 1956, the Seminar on the Acquisition of Latin
American Library Materials, or SALALM, has provided the only national
and international forum focused on Latin American studies research
librarianship, library collections and services. The SALALM Scholarship
award will include a one-year membership in the organization.
The Spring 2012 SALALM Scholarship, also for $1,000 and made possible
by the generous anonymous donation from a SALALM member, has full
information concerning qualifications and application process on the
scholarship section of SALALM's website. the deadline is 20 Feb. SEE
