Licensing solutions provider Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), US, has announced the winners of its Conference Scholarship Programme for Academic Librarians. The winners include Bridgett Birmingham of Florida State University, Katie Hutchinson of Walsh University, Jennifer L. Kegler of SUNY Brockport, and Bing Wang of Georgia Tech University. Each received a travel stipend of $1,500 to attend the Association of College and Research Libraries' ACRL 2013 conference recently held in Indianapolis.
Due to the high number of submissions received prior to ACRL 2013, CCC is currently offering the same programme for academic librarians to attend the American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference from June 27 to July 2 in Chicago. Applicants must be full-time, permanent staff members or academic librarians currently employed by a US-based academic institution of higher learning. A full list of requirements can be found at http://goto.copyright.com/LP=222.
To apply for the scholarship programme, librarians need to submit a response of up to 300 words to a short question. The application deadline is May 20, 2013. Winners will be notified May 31, and scholarship stipends will be issued on June 10. CCC encourages librarians who applied for an ACRL scholarship to resubmit their entries for the ALA programme.
