Forwarded on behalf of the MiALA Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and
Accessibility (IDEA) Committee. Excuse posting to multiple lists. Please
share this information with anyone/group that may be interested in receiving
this information.

*****************************

 

Please see the below opportunity from the Michigan Academic Library
Association:

 

Recognizing that the COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated deep-seated
inequities within librarianship and society as a whole, particularly
impacting library workers and students who identify as Black, Indigenous,
and People of Color; and in support of the precedent set by ACRL in creating
their ACRL Funding for BIPOC Library Workers initiative, the MiALA
Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) Committee, with the
support of the MiALA board, have launched the Membership Funding for BIPOC
Library and Archives Students and Workers initiative.

 

This initiative will fund membership for 1 year for 10 library/archives
students, as well as membership for 1 year for 5 library/archives workers.

 

In order to be considered for this membership funding, applicants must
identify as a Black, Indigenous, and/or as a Person of Color.

 

Consideration will be extended to those who

- serve underrepresented populations

- have experienced household job loss or furlough in 2020

- are considered early-career professionals (less than 5 years experience)

You do not have to be a current member of MiALA to apply. The application
closes on May 31st and can be accessed here:
