The iSchool at Drexel, College of Information Science and Technology, 
invites applications for IMLS fellowships for studies toward the PhD 
degree.  The fellowships are funded by a Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian 
Grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).  At 
least four fellowships of $40,000/year (including tuition and research 
stipend) will be awarded.

The library and information science community is in critical need of 
professionals who have the knowledge and skills to develop and manage 
digital information services.  The goal of this project is to prepare new 
faculty who will be well trained in information systems and technologies 
and who willl have the knowledge and skills to conduct research about 
digital libraries and the management of digital information.

The application procedure is the same as applying for our PhD program.  In 
your personal statement, however, you should state your interest in this 
IMLS fellowship and discuss how your background and research interest 
would match its goals.  Applications will be accepted until February 1, 
2008.  All Fellows will start their studies in September 2008.
