University of Illinois

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Graduate School of Library and Information and the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Library and Information Science will develop the Library Access Midwest Program (LAMP), a regional alliance that will attract 20 promising college students to careers in librarianship. Special emphasis will be placed on recruiting students from statistically and historically underrepresented populations. In addition to the direct effect it will have on these 20 students and their contributions to the library field, LAMP is designed to be a replicable model for other regions.
