OCLC awards 1997 research grants

DUBLIN, Ohio, Oct. 10, 1997--The OCLC Office of Research has awarded two Library and Information Science Research Grants to university researchers for 1997.

"We are pleased to be able to support these projects," said Terry Noreault, director, OCLC Research and Special Projects Division. "University-based research adds an important dimension to our research agenda, and these projects promise findings that should be of broad interest to the library and information science community."

The OCLC Library and Information Science Research Grant program awards grants of up to $10,000 to help foster quality research by faculty in schools of library and information science. Projects are generally completed within one year, and findings are published in the Annual Review of OCLC Research and in the public domain. Application materials for 1998 will be available in November. For more information, contact the OCLC Office of Research by phone at +1-614-764-6487 or by e-mail at diane_morris@oclc.org.
