NISO Two Part Webinar, Finding The Funding
October 10 and October 17, 2018, 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. (Eastern, US & Canada)
This event will look at the messaging, media platforms, policymaking, agency, and tensions involved when librarians become funding advocates. It will also examine social media and effective practices related to navigating participatory networks.
Aside from funding libraries themselves, there are many innovative projects that might never be accomplished without the support of grants from foundations of various sizes and sorts. What are the current trends? The speakers in this event will identify and examine those trends and share their possible impact on the academic environment. Register for both segments and save!
