LibQUAL+ has announced that five institutions will be selected to receive in-kind grants to participate in the 2013 LibQUAL+ survey. This will be the eighth year LibQUAL+ has sponsored an in-kind grant programme. There are two application deadlines for the 2013 grant programme: June 17, 2012, and December 16, 2012.
LibQUAL+ is a suite of services that libraries use to solicit, track, understand, and act upon users’ opinions of service quality. These services are offered to the international library community by the Association of Research Libraries.
The selection of grant recipients will be based on financial need, contribution to the growth of LibQUAL+ and the ability of the participating library to both improve overall services and contribute to the quality of service provided to students and faculty at the institution.
Applications will be reviewed and evaluated by an advisory committee. Interested applicants must submit a three- to five-page narrative explaining their unique situation and how they meet the criteria above; a brief paragraph describing their institution (less than 500 words); the name, phone number, e-mail address, and mailing address of the contact person for the application; and a short biography of the person applying on behalf of the institution.
