§ 132.3 Eligible purposes.

Funds available under the Act may be used by the Commissioner to award grants to institutions of higher education and library organizations or agencies to assist them in training persons in librarianship, for any one or more of the following purposes:

(a) To assist in covering the cost of courses of training or study (including institutes) for such persons;

(b) For establishing and maintaining fellowships or traineeships with stipends (including allowances for traveling, subsistence, and other expenses) for fellows and others undergoing training and their dependents not in excess of such maximum amounts prescribed in this part; and

(c) For establishing, developing, and expanding programs of library and information science, including law librarianship.

(20 U.S.C. 1033)

§ 132.4 Apportionment.

Not less than 50 percent of the grants awarded shall be for the purpose of establishing and maintaining fellowships or traineeships.

(20 U.S.C. 1033(a))

§ 132.5 Program objectives.

(a) The purpose of the institute/ traineeship program is to provide persons an opportunity to enter the library field by obtaining necessary skills and training and to provide persons serving any type of library, information center or instructional materials center (including persons serving as library, media, and information science educators) an opportunity to upgrade and update their competencies.

(b) The purpose of the fellowship/ traineeship program is to provide for full-time study as determined by the grantee in any graduate or undergraduate level program in library and information science sponsored by the participating grantee, regardless of whether the particular program terminates in the award of a specific graduate or undergraduate degree, or is merely designed to provide specialized training in some branch or aspect of librarianship. Fellowship/traineeship awards may not be made, however, to participants in any program which is designed to run for less than one academic year, regardless of the experience or educational level of the student body for whom such programs are created.

(c) Since the objectives of this program are to increase the opportunities throughout the Nation for training individuals in the principles and practices of the library and information sciences, including the acquisition, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of information, and reference and research use of library and other information sources, the grants awarded under this program must supplement rather than supplant the library, media, and information science education programs and graduate fellowships presently conducted by the grantee, and the total number of students enrolled in such programs must therefore be increased.

(d) Grants will be made to the institution, organization, or agency to establish fellowships for persons enrolled in programs in the library and information sciences (student assistance) and to assist in defraying the cost of such courses of training in librarianship (institutional support).
