**Activity in Current Reporting Period
a)
Projects completed (For example, any
procedures, tip sheets, checklists, etc. created during this period): The
committee advertised the 3M/NMRT grant in the August issue of Footnotes, and worked with the Publicity
Committee to advertise the grant in various library listservs. Announcements were sent to electronic lists
in early September, November, and the first week of December. The committee received 87 applications for
the grant by the December 15 deadline, and selected 3 grant winners over an
e-mail discussion that took place after Midwinter. The committee also revised the form used to
score applicants to more closely reflect the evaluation criteria stated on the
3M grant web site, and used this form to rate the applicants. The winners have been notified through e-mail
and regular mail.
a)
Projects in progress but not yet
completed: The committee is currently
waiting to hear from the grant recipients, who are required to send back a
signed acceptance form.
We have also divided the task of sending notification letters to rejected applicants, and this is currently being accomplished.
**Action Items/Issues To Be
Resolved (What is left to do, based on your Planning Report?
Have there been any substantial changes in plans since then? What items, if any,
have been deferred until next year?):
b) When the committee has received a formal
written acceptance from all three grant winners, it will work with the
Publicity Committee to publicize the winners. This will include a press release
about recipients in the May issue of Footnotes,
in addition to announcements on NMRT-L and the NMRT web site. The committee will also work with Becky
Anderson, 3M liaison, to schedule activities of recipients at ALA Annual,
publicize the grant winners at the NMRT Booth, and announce the recipients at
the 3M/NMRT social in
