Friends, I would like to remind you that the deadline to apply for both the AJL Scholarship and the Rosalie Katchen Fund are fast approaching. All materials need to be in my hands by April 1 so that the Scholarship Committee can deliberate. Here is some brief information on these awards. More extensive information and the applications can be found on the AJL website: http://www.jewishlibraries.org. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about them. See my contact information at the bottom.
AJL Scholarship In order to encourage students to train for, and enter, the field of Judaica librarianship, the Association of Jewish Libraries awards a scholarship of $500 to a student attending or planning to attend a graduate school of library and information science. Prospective candidates should have an interest in, and demonstrate a potential for, pursuing a career in Judaica librarianship. This scholarship is open to individuals who are currently working in Jewish libraries as well as those who are not. Rosalie Katchen Memorial Award In order to support catalogers and library school students seeking to further their knowledge of Hebraica/Judaica cataloging and/or participate in and contribute Hebraica records to national cooperative cataloging programs, a monetary award is made to a qualified applicant. The amount of money awarded varies from year to year, depending on resources available in this fund. Applicants who wish to use the award to attend cataloging sessions at the AJL Convention will be considered. Debbie Stern, Library Director Mordecai M.
