[Libs-Or] Supporting Indigenous Scholars into the Field of Librarianship

[Marci Jenkins]

The three-year Bridging Knowledge project will provide financial and scaffolded student support to 15 American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian graduate students to earn a fully online Masters of Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree and an advanced certificate in strategic management of digital assets and services through San José State University, School of Information.
The grant will support the recruitment, training, and development of these Indigenous librarians and contribute to growing a diverse and skilled professional workforce.
