»Nine CIRLA Fellows Appointed to Full-Time Positions at the Library of Congress

The placements represent the final stage of the CIRLA Fellows Program, a mentoring, education and experiential program for library school students from traditionally underserved ethnic or racial groups who have a demonstrated interest in research or academic library careers. The program is sponsored through a Librarians for the 21st Century grant, awarded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services and administered by Georgetown University’s Lauinger Library. It is designed to ready the next generation of librarians to fill functional specialties in academic-research libraries. See more information here.
