SEEKING HOST LIBRARIES- OSI Network Library Program, Fellows Program
The Open Society Institute Network Library Program welcomes proposals from
libraries, information centers, and schools of library and information
science to host librarians and information professionals from the following
countries: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia-Hercegovina,
Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Kazakstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Poland,
Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan,
Yugoslavia. The Fellowship should last from three to six months. Hosts may
be in English-speaking, French-speaking, German-speaking, Italian-speaking,
or Russian-speaking countries.
The aim of the program is to familiarize Fellows with the practice of
librarianship in other countries, and to give them some work experience in
libraries or information centers, or to help teachers in the LIS field to
broaden their knowledge and upgrade their skills. Proposals that focus on
helping Fellows to develop skills and strategies for sharing their new
knowledge with colleagues upon their return home will receive top priority.
Please address the following points in your application:
* Why are you interested in hosting Fellows?
* What do you hope to accomplish?
* What does your institution have to offer NLP Fellows?
* What is your institution's experience in LIS education and/or continuing
professional development for librarians? If you have had any experience
with international activities in this area, please describe it.
* What program will you offer Fellows? (Describe how you plan to orient
them to your institution and community; what kinds of work experience
you can provide)
* How many Fellows are you prepared to host?
* How will you recruit and select Fellows? (Note that recruitment must be
done in conjunction with the Soros Foundations Network.)
* What are the benefits to Fellows?
* What are the benefits to your institution?
* What are the living conditions for Fellows you host? (Describe housing,
community)
* What is your plan for evaluating the success of your Fellows Program?
Proposals involving groups of fellows and multiple countries will be
especially welcome.
The application must be submitted in English, and the budget must be in
U.S. dollars. Budget should include accommodation, stipend for the Fellow,
health insurance, local transportation, airport transportation, attendance
at additional training workshops, conferences that could be part of the
Fellowship, package of training material.
Please note that the NLP does not pay overhead costs. Please note that this
program is for working professionals, not for students. If you are
interested in an exchange or twinning program, please apply under the NLP
Matching Funds Grants Training Program.
Applications must be received by the NLP office in Budapest by 1 August
1998. Decisions will be made in the middle of September.
