Innovative Library Access Grants Available

The Elsevier Foundation improves quality of life for people worldwide by recognizing excellence in scientific research and by supporting access to scientific, technical and medical knowledge.

The foundation recently launched a new giving program, the Innovative Library Access (ILA) Program, which will give grants ranging from US$5,000 to $15,000 to help provide resources to libraries improving access to scientific, technical and medical information in developing Asia. Non-profit organizations based in China, India or Southeast Asia may apply. Eligible projects must involve training sessions, upgrading information technology and services, or digitizing STM collections in order to provide innovative access to STM information. An international advisory panel of Asian library experts will evaluate the proposals.

For more information on how to apply for an ILA grant, please visit the foundation’s website at the URL below. Proposals must be postmarked no later than September 1, 2006.

At the website, you can also read about other types of grants awarded by the foundation and learn more about its mission.
