Announce Distinguished Fellows Program
http://www.clir.org/pubs/press/fellows.html
The Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) and the
Digital Library Federation (DLF) recently announced a particularly
interesting new fellowship program that should identify potential
partners to work with CLIR & DLF in implementing their agendas. The
call is to librarians, archivists, information technologists, and
scholars for them to "pursue their professional development and
research interests". It is aimed at "senior professionals with a
well-developed personal research agenda who will benefit
significantly from time away from their day-to-day responsibilities."

>is concerned with both the domestic and international dimensions of
>each area. The DLF is broadly interested in research, development,

>away from their day-to-day responsibilities.
>
>Although Distinguished Fellows will not be required to relocate to
>Washington, D.C., during their tenure, the Fellows will be expected
>to take part in program planning sessions and to cooperate with CLIR
>staff on existing projects, in addition to working on their own
>projects.
>
>Prospective applicants are encouraged to write a letter to Deanna
>Marcum, president of CLIR, or Daniel Greenstein, director of DLF,
>addressing the following questions:
>
>1. What work would you carry out during your tenure as Fellow?
>
>2. How would your work contribute to that of CLIR or the DLF?
>
>3. For what period of time do you request the Fellowship?
>
>4. What level of funding is required for you to undertake the Fellowship?
>
>5. What is the likely outcome or product of the Fellowship?
>
>In addition, a resume and a sample of previous work should be enclosed.
>
>Individuals will be selected on the basis of available funding and
>the match between their research interests and the needs of CLIR or
>the DLF. One to three fellowships will be offered each year.
