Midwinter Meeting Web Site For Immediate Release Friday, November 22, 1996 Contact: Joan Arlene Reyes The Pennsylvania State University Libraries (814) 865-1858 [Chicago]-Are you a library science student or a new member of the American Library Association? Will you be attending the 1997 ALA Midwinter Meeting in Washington, D. C.? Is this your first trip to our nation's capitol? Would you like information to reacquaint yourself with the District? If you've answered "yes" to any of these questions then visit our web site at the following URL: http://128.118.90.101/ala-nmrt/washdc.htm The New Members Round Table offers new members or individuals with less than ten years' experience within the American Library Association the opportunity to become involved within the profession by serving on committees and acquiring leadership skills. We offer three awards each year: the EBSCO/NMRT Scholarship, the Shirley Olofson Memorial Award and the 3M/NMRT Professional Development Grant. The EBSCO/NMRT Scholarship is awarded to an applicant who must be planning to enroll (either for the first time or as a continuing student) in graduate studies in the summer or fall of 1997 in a formal program of library education leading to a master's degree. The Shirley Olofson Memorial Award is presented annually in honor of Shirley Olofson, a former NMRT President, who died during her term in office. The award, which is intended to help defray the costs to attend the ALA Annual Conference, will be presented in the form of a check for $500.00 at the NMRT President's Program during the 1997 Annual Conference in San Francisco. The 3M/NMRT Professional Development Grant will help finance attendance at the ALA Annual Conference. This award covers round trip airfare, lodging, conference registration fees and some incidental expenses. Visit our web site often during the next few months to find out about NMRT activities, including the Social, and information on where to stay, eat and visit while in the District. And visit our booth while in Washington, D.C. Have a great meeting!
