In This Issue: NEW IMLS GRANT APPLICATION DEADLINES AND AWARD ANNOUNCEMENTS 

In their June issue of Primary Source, the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) announced new grant application deadlines and upcoming grant awards announcement.

Several of the application deadlines for IMLS library grant programs will change in fiscal year 2005.  By changing the deadlines, IMLS states they will be better able to serve grant applicants.  IMLS hopes that this advance notice of the new deadlines will help applicants plan.  Among the first upcoming grant application deadlines is the Librarians for the 21st Century program, which is due December 15th.  For details, please see the IMLS press release at:
