Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) is offering up to 10
scholarships to MCLS member libraries in Indiana for staff to participate in
the Harwood Virtual Public Innovators Lab, June 23 to August 11, 2016.
These funds are being made
available through a grant program established by the MCLS Board of Trustees
from the proceeds of the sale of the former INCOLSA building.
The Program
The Harwood Virtual Public
Innovators Lab takes their signature 2.5-day training and transforms it into an
interactive 8-week online course to help you and your organization learn what it means to
turn outward – to use the community, not your conference room, as your
reference point for choices and action. You will get the same quality training
delivered in an innovative, new way. If traveling to an in-person lab is
a challenge for you, then this is a great option.
MCLS has been using the tools of
the Harwood Institute and sharing them with libraries since 2013. We are
excited to be able to support training for Indiana librarians in this proven
community engagement method.
Funding Eligibility
- Applicants must work
in an Indiana library that is an institutional member of MCLS.
- Applicants may be from
any type of library; academic, public, school, institutional or special.
- A maximum of 2 persons
per library will be awarded.
- MCLS will cover the
entire tuition of $795/person for those selected to receive the scholarship.
Deadlines
- Interested libraries
must complete an application form by Midnight, May 13.
- We will send
notification by May 20.
-
MCLS will register
selected recipients and remit payment directly to the Harwood Institute for the
tuition by June 10.
The
Application
- A link to the
downloadable application is available in MSWord on the Indiana Library Grants
Initiative Web page and can be accessed by clicking here.
- Applications should be
emailed to Michelle Bradley, Member Engagement Manager at bradleym@mcls.org.

 In 2009, the I-LLID fellowship launched its first co-hort of M.L.S. candidates. The fellowship was funded through a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered through a partnership between the Indiana State Library and IUPUI’s School of Library and Information Science.
Over the next several months we will be including spot lights on past fellows to highlight their personal and professional accomplishments.
To view our first interview with Nichelle M. Hayes who is currently working at the Indianapolis Public Library click here.
Here’s
a fun, voluntary quiz we’d love you to take! Five quick questions at http://bit.ly/1Sdne3B to clue us in on what
y’all are learning about lately and how much you’ve been able to apply on the
job.
It’s
anonymous, there are no right or wrong answers, we just want to hear from you
honestly. Your responses will help ISL understand what training topics
folks are most commonly taking, what might be lacking, and why you might not be
able to implement what you’ve learned so far this year.
Thank
you, thank you for your LESS THAN A MINUTE responses. We have plans this
year and next to respond to all these so your training makes a tremendous
difference in your libraries!
