Project Management and Grant Evaluation

Infopeople presents Library Evaluation for Grant Writers and Others with Jennifer Sweeney. This free webinar is scheduled for March 1 at 2 p.m. CST. Registration is not required.

Evaluation is something you do when you're done with a program, right? Wrong! Evaluation should be a part of the entire grant process, from planning and writing the proposal, to ongoing program improvement, and finally assessment after-the-fact. Evaluation especially needs to be part of your thinking while you are planning your project and writing your grant. The process is also applicable and useful for evaluating library programs when writing general reports and creating other documentation.

Infopeople presents Project Management and Measuring Success for Digital Projects with Sarah Houghton-Jan. This free webinar scheduled for March 2 at 2 p.m. CST. Registration not required.

Managing any project is difficult. Managing digital projects requires a specialized set of abilities that, once mastered, are replicable across a variety of projects.

H. W. Wilson Library Staff Development Grant

A recent issue of Grants for Libraries (available as part of our Professional Journal Routing) highlighted the H.W. Wilson Library Staff Development Grant. Deadline for the application is December 1, 2010 with the grant money ($3,500) available after the ALA Annual Conference in 2011.

If you have an idea for a Staff Development project in need of funding, this may be just the grant for you. It's started my mind going - let me know if you have ideas for a system project, too.
