Barbara Semonche’s list of SLA Divisions’ Student Awards/Stipends

Note: Special Libraries Association has many more Divisions than listed here. For a full listing, please consult this web site: http://www.sla.org/membership/divisions.html. Some of them might offer student stipends or awards that are not yet on this list below.

Here is a listing (that have been announced) of SLA Division's offering student stipends or awards.

For SLA Caucuses, select this web site: http://www.sla.org/membership/koff.html.  As yet, none of these groups offer student awards, but that might change in the future. It is always a good idea to check all of these web sites periodically.

SLA Marketing Division’s annual "Swap & Shop" competition at SLA

TYPICAL SUBMISSIONS

* Printed materials (e.g., fact sheet, brochure (specialized or general), newsletter, poster, transcripts from email campaigns, etc.)
* Non-printed materials (e.g. tote bag, pens, voicemail transcripts, etc.)
* Library Intranet site demo (more submission information in Note 6, below)
* Marketing Campaign - tell us the TARGET AUDIENCE, the GOALS of the campaign, HOW you carried out the campaign (list tools, medium [voicemail/email/brochures], strategies, materials used, and submit examples where possible), campaign RESULTS (if known), and any other SIGNIFICANT DETAILS of the campaign. Suggestion: submit your information on legal sized paper using a large font (for ease of reading), if possible.

NOTES

1) Be creative! We are soliciting *any* clever and creative marketing materials; the above ideas are just examples!
2) With the exception of the intranet site entries you do not have to attend the conference in order to submit an entry or win.
3) We are often asked why we request 5 copies of all materials submitted. We need the additional copies: in case one copy is damaged during the preparation & mounting process, to display both sides of a 2-sided brochure, and to help create the Marketing Kits supplied on loan to member libraries by the SLA Information Resource Center.
4) All entrants receive a Certificate of Appreciation. All winners receive a cash prize and special certificate indicating their achievement.
5) Library Intranet Site Entries: Due to the limiting nature of paper, we are requesting that the Intranet entries are submitted in DEMO form. If you enter this category, only the entry form is returned-your demo will be seen at the Conference. This means that you will be on hand to demonstrate your intranet site between the hours of 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm. This is a great opportunity for you to show other members the structure and content of your site the way it is meant to be seen: on a computer! Feel free to bring supporting documentation, but please be considerate of space because you will be sharing a table with another entry. You must bring your own laptop and extension cord and you will be responsible for the safety of your computer. Access to phone lines will not be available so you will want to load HTML documents and folders onto the hard disk of your laptop. [If you have never done this before, please contact your organization's Intranet Specialist.]
6) You must be an SLA member to participate.
7) Any questions about the Competition can be directed to Mindy Pennington, Marketing Co-Chair, at 517-636-9787.
