If you’re interested in book and media evaluation but have limited experiences than this seminar is for YOU!  ALSC is seeking applications for its third biennial Morris Seminar: Book Evaluation Training, to be held on Friday, January 20, 2012, prior to the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Dallas, Texas.  This invitational seminar supports and honors William C. Morris’ dedication to connecting librarians and children with exc ellent children’s books.

During this day-long event, members with limited experience are trained and mentored in evaluation techniques by former ALSC award committee members.   The seminar will result in new and emerging leaders for future ALSC evaluation committees.

The Morris Endowment supports those selected to attend the training seminar by offering the seminar at no charge to the attendee.  This includes all materials, breakfast, lunch, and afternoon break on Friday.  To help defray additional costs for hotel and other expenses, a $200 stipend for each attendee will be provided by the endowment.

Information and the application are available on the ALSC Web site at: http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alsc/confevents/morris_events/seminarinfo.cfm

The application deadline has been extended to September 30, 2011.  Attendees selected to attend the seminar will be notified during the first week of November.
