Description
The American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) lists grants sponsored by its special interest sections (SIS) to support members’ professional growth. Opportunities cover education, research, scholarship, travel, and participation in professional events. They include member stimulus grants, research funding, education funds, and support associated with the Conference of Newer Law Librarians (CONELL), AALL Annual Meeting, AALL Leadership Academy, and ABA Techshow.
Participating sections represent academic, government, and private law libraries, alongside interests in international law, public legal information services, technology, resource discovery, social responsibility, and technical services. Applicants can use the collection to identify opportunities aligned with their professional interests and the activity they seek to fund.
