Montana State University (Tribal College Librarians Professional Development Institute)

Montana State University's Tribal College Librarians Institute (TCLI) is an annual week-long conference of continuing education and professional development experiences for information professionals serving Native American communities. IMLS support over a three-year period will support the TCLI during the summers of 2010, 2011, and 2012. TCLI will offer travel stipends to participants and will not charge registration fees. This financial support will encourage more tribal college librarians to attend TCLI. Funding also will allow 20 tribal college librarians to attend the 2011 National Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums Conference. These activities will benefit tribal college librarians and the communities they serve.
