Greetings Colleagues,

I trust you're well. Today I'm celebrating, REALLY CELEBRATING, the HBCU Library Alliance's second direct grant award. The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has approved the eighteen-month project, "Expanding Library Support for Faculty Research in Historically Black Colleges and Universities." We will partner with the HBCU Faculty Development Network, http://hbcufdn.org/
to complete project activities. The project will foster improved library services on individual HBCU campuses and develop collaborative approaches to expand HBCU community-wide library support for faculty research.

The long-term goals and objectives of this project are:

  Integration of HBCU library services and resources into faculty research initiatives by raising awareness within campus communities and increasing direct engagement among librarians and faculty in support of research.

  Building collaborative approaches within the HBCU library community to provide ongoing support for faculty research

by identifying shared needs among HBCU Library Alliance members in this area, and developing plans and programs to address priority needs on a collaborative basis through the HBCU Library Alliance post-grant.

The grant includes these dynamic components:

Library Survey: The purpose of this survey is to gather information from selected HBCU libraries (in the doctoral/research, master's, baccalaureate, and medical levels) to determine their current services, capacity, and needs regarding faculty research support. The survey will include questions about institutional strategic goals and mandates to further assess the library's ability to support them.

Faculty Survey: The purpose of this survey is to gather input from faculty at the HBCUs which incorporate research in their core missions. The survey will seek to gather information that can assist libraries in understanding faculty research interests, plans, challenges, and support needs.

Support Model Projects at Selected HBCUs: In order to make immediate use of survey results and to focus the HBCU library community on action to address defined research needs, the HBCU Library Alliance proposes two activities for its members: support for model projects at eight HBCU libraries to develop or expand research support services, and educational programming to reach the entire community.

Educational Programming for HBCU Librarians and Faculty: This will include presentation of survey results through webinars and conferences, demonstration of sub-grant project results, and training in subjects related to library services that support faculty research. The purpose of the training programs for librarians and faculty is to increase collaboration and raise awareness of library research support programs, improve librarian skills in outreach and liaison services, and improve library research support services.

I'm EXCITED about this new opportunity for the HBCU Library Alliance to strengthen our community. I'm depending on you to be responsive as we begin project activities. Stay tuned for more information!

Respectfully,

Sandra

Faculty Survey: The purpose of this survey is to gather input from
faculty at the HBCUs which incorporate research in their core missions. The
survey will seek to gather information that can assist libraries in
understanding faculty research interests, plans, challenges, and support
needs.****

Support Model Projects at Selected HBCUs: In order to make immediate
use of survey results and to focus the HBCU library community on action to
address defined research needs, the HBCU Library Alliance proposes two
activities for its members: support for model projects at eight HBCU
libraries to develop or expand research support services, and educational
programming to reach the entire community.****

Educational Programming for HBCU Librarians and Faculty: This will
include presentation of survey results through webinars and conferences,
demonstration of sub-grant project results, and training in subjects
related to library services that support faculty research. The purpose of
the training programs for librarians and faculty is to increase
collaboration and raise awareness of library research support programs,
improve librarian skills in outreach and liaison services, and improve
library research support services.****

I’m EXCITED about this new opportunity for the HBCU Library Alliance to
strengthen our community. I’m depending on you to be responsive as we begin
project activities. Stay tuned for more information!****

Subject: EXCITING NEWS: Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Grant Award - Expanding Library Support for Faculty Research in HBCUs

Greetings Colleagues,

I trust you're well. Today I'm celebrating, REALLY CELEBRATING, the HBCU Library Alliance's second direct grant award. The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has approved the eighteen-month project, "Expanding Library Support for Faculty Research in Historically Black Colleges and Universities." We will partner with the HBCU Faculty Development Network, http://hbcufdn.org/
to complete project activities. The project will foster improved library services on individual HBCU campuses and develop collaborative approaches to expand HBCU community-wide library support for faculty research.

The long-term goals and objectives of this project are:

  Integration of HBCU library services and resources into faculty research initiatives by raising awareness within campus communities and increasing direct engagement among librarians and faculty in support of research.

  Building collaborative approaches within the HBCU library community to provide ongoing support for faculty research

by identifying shared needs among HBCU Library Alliance members in this area, and developing plans and programs to address priority needs on a collaborative basis through the HBCU Library Alliance post-grant.

The grant includes these dynamic components:

Library Survey: The purpose of this survey is to gather information from selected HBCU libraries (in the doctoral/research, master's, baccalaureate, and medical levels) to determine their current services, capacity, and needs regarding faculty research support. The survey will include questions about institutional strategic goals and mandates to further assess the library's ability to support them.

Faculty Survey: The purpose of this survey is to gather input from faculty at the HBCUs which incorporate research in their core missions. The survey will seek to gather information that can assist libraries in understanding faculty research interests, plans, challenges, and support needs.

Support Model Projects at Selected HBCUs: In order to make immediate use of survey results and to focus the HBCU library community on action to address defined research needs, the HBCU Library Alliance proposes two activities for its members: support for model projects at eight HBCU libraries to develop or expand research support services, and educational programming to reach the entire community.
