Association of Research Libraries

The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) will address the growing need for specialized librarians to help users who create and need access to digital resources and scientific data. The primary goal of the project is to educate, develop, and hire new librarians from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, specifically those with a background in applied and natural sciences. Forty-five graduate students will receive stipends, mentoring, and leadership development experiences to launch their careers in an ARL library.
