[Libs-Or] FW: LSSC Accepting Applications for Course Subsidies

[Gilmont, Susan]

For managers and supervisors:  if you have any staff members who are considering going for the ALA-APA Library Support Staff Certification program, please let them know that there is more money available for taking LSSC-approved classes.  It would be wonderful if several Oregonians applied for and received these awards.

SSD has $200 awards to help with the costs of enrolling in the program.  More information about SSD Scholarships may be found at:  http://www.olaweb.org/mc/page.do?sitePageId=61763 .

For release: July 29, 2010

The Library Support Staff Certification (LSSC) Program is accepting applications for 55 subsidies of $200 from LSSC Candidates to enroll in and complete LSSC-approved courses. Candidates who receive a subsidy award will receive a $200 reimbursement after they pay for, and complete, an LSSC-approved course.

To apply for a subsidy, candidates must be accepted in the LSSC Program by September 15, 2010.  Subsidy recipients must successfully complete one of LSSC's Approved Courses<http://ala-apa.org/lssc/approved-courses/> by April 1, 2011.

Application information is available on the LSSC For Candidates<http://ala-apa.org/lssc/for-candidates/> page. Candidates must apply for the subsidy by September 15. The LSSC Program staff will select recipients using a random selection process and announce subsidy awards on September 27.

LSSC is a national, voluntary certification program administered by the American Library Association-Allied Profession Association (ALA-APA). The LSSC Program is partially funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. For more information, please contact LSSC Program staff<mailto:lssc at ala.org>.
