The Newsletter of Computing Services SIS American Association of Law Libraries Volume 1, Issue 1 December, 2000 CS-SIS Grant Oonortunitv The Computing Services SIS is pleased to continue offering grant opportunities for interested AALL members. The CS-SIS anticipates providing funding to several grant awardees again in 2000/01. The Main focus of the CS-SIS grant is to underwrite some or all of the cost of registration for the annual AALL meeting. Those completing a grant application to attend the AALL annual meeting may also request additional financial support to cover related expenses, but information justifying specialized needs is required in these cases. Grant requests for the annual AALL meeting are due by April 1 each year. Applications to attend other AALL workshops or seminars, including AALL chapter events, must be submitted prior to the time of that event. In most cases where funding is available, financial support will cover registration costs only. Individuals who have received a CS-SIS grant within the two previous years will not be considered for a grant. Preference may be given to individuals who have never attended an AALL workshop or annual conference; or who show financial need; or who are active members of the CS-SIS; or who are new or student members of the CS-SIS. As funding permits, however, all eligible AALL member requests will be considered, and all AALL members are encouraged to consider this grant opportunity as a means of supporting their continuing education needs. Four AALL members received full or partial funding to attend the AALL July, 2000 Conference in Philadelphia, PA. Grant recipients are required to provide some type of service to the CS-SIS in the form of an article for the CS-SIS website or newsletter, active committee participation, etc. Contributions can be negotiated with the CS-SIS Board at the time of receiving the grant. The grant application form is available at: Questions concerning the grant may be directed to Jean Willis, Chair of the CS- SIS Grants Subcommittee, at either or (619) 531-444. ... . .. . .. . . lt-L .......... i/ - MA rW 7 , - -- -- 2000 Grant Recipients: * Kim Deniker, Mercer County Law Library * David Hanson, Drake Law Library * Peter Murray, University of Connecticut School of Law Library * Lisa Mecklenberg, State Law Library of Montana Welcome to the first issue of Connecting...
