[Forwarded by request.  Dick Hill]

Below are two scholarship opportunities for students.  You may also check 
out our website at http://www.cis.drexel.edu/ under the Headlines area for 
information as well.

The Rosalie Katchen Memorial Award

AJL encourages excellence in Judaica librarianship by sponsoring several 
awards for Judaica librarians or aspiring Judaica librarians.

The Rosalie Katchen Memorial Fund, named for a leading Hebraica librarian 
and cataloger, supports catalogers and library school students seeking to 
further their knowledge of Hebraica/Judaica cataloging and/or participate 
in and contribute Hebraica records to national cooperative cataloging 
programs.

Evidence must be presented showing enrollment in a graduate school of 
library and information science. Or, the applicant should be currently 
active in the field, such as being employed in a cataloging or technical 
services department. Applicants must provide documentation showing 
completion of courses in Judaica at an academic level, or demonstrate 
equivalent knowledge. A strong knowledge of Hebrew language is essential.

Examples of activities that the scholarship supports would be:
    * Attend training sponsored by the Program for Cooperative Cataloging 
such as NACO, SACO, or Series Authority Training
    * Attend a course in Hebraica cataloging
    * Attend workshop or advanced course at Bar Ilan University or the 
Hebrew University in Israel at their graduate schools of library, archive, 
and information studies
    * Attend a seminar or workshop on Judaica cataloging
Students desiring to apply for this scholarship should describe the nature 
of the project that would be funded, and submit necessary documentation to:
