Library Technology Award
Issued By: The National Network of Libraries of Medicine South Central Region (NN/LM SCR)
The purpose of the Library Technology Award is to assist full Network member libraries in the NN/LM SCR that are interested in implementing large-scale technology applications to further encourage library improvement and expansion of library services.
Potential areas of focus may include but are not limited to:
- Implementation of an integrated document delivery system such as ILLiad;
- Installation of electronic resource management applications such as OpenURL tools to enhance access to electronic journals;
- Implementation of a scanning and digitization system to ensure preservation of valuable items in the library’s collection and make them available in an electronic format to both local and remote users.
Bidders are encouraged to submit proposals that expand existing services or introduce new services to enhance health information access through the use of technology.
The NN/LM SCR encourages all interested applicants to review the Guide for NN/LM SCR Awardees:http://nnlm.gov/scr/outreach/subcontractorsguide.html.
Funding: Two (2) projects up to $20,000 will be awarded. Indirect costs (IDC) up to 25% are allowed for this award; however, it is recommended that due to the low funding level, IDC be kept to the minimum possible.
Eligibility: Network members in the NN/LM SCR (Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas) who are also Full Network members. Network members may apply for a Library Technology Award as a consortium.
Interested agencies or departments that are not already members may join the Network by filling out the membership application located at: http://nnlm.gov/scr/services/member.html.
Period of Performance: Up to 12 months from date of the award.
Letter of Intent: A Letter of Intent must be provided no later than close of business July 1, 2008. The Letter of Intent can be submitted electronically, by mail, or by fax. Your expression of intent is not binding but will greatly assist in planning for proposal evaluation.
