OPPORTUNITY: 2018 GLAM Cross-Pollinator Registration Awards

The Digital Library Foundation and its partners have opened applications for GLAM cross-pollinator awards, intended to fund DLF-affiliated professionals to attend the conferences of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC), the Museum Computer Network (MCN), and the Visual Resources Association (VRA):

Museum and library staff face similar challenges in the digital landscape and yet have too few opportunities to come together. For a third year, the Digital Library Federation and its partner organizations will support six registration awards meant to encourage collaboration and conversation about these challenges among our museum and digital library communities.

Application deadlines for each of the three conferences vary: September 14 for the Museum Computer Network, December 14 for the Visual Resources Association, and March 8 for the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works.
