1995–96 ALA MINORITY FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITY
The American Library Association (ALA), the oldest and largest national library association in the world, 
provides leadership for the development, promotion, and improvement of library and information services 
and the profession of librarianship through a comprehensive program including research, fellowships, 
publications, and conferences.

Applications are being accepted for the 1995– 1996 ALA Minority Fellowship Program. The program is 
designed to provide a participatory opportunity for underrepresented ethnic librarians to:

•  Gain an understanding of ALA’s structure and operations, how policy is formulated and implemented, 
and association management.

•  Improve the upward mobility and wider representation of underrepresented ethnic librarians, make 
ALA better known, more visible, and accessible to librarians of diverse backgrounds and multiethnic 
caucuses.

•  Contribute to ALA in its vision, commitment, and goal toward the multicultural profession.

The American Library Association’s goal is to help to eliminate the barriers that prevent minority librarians 
and information scientists from participating fully in the profession. The American Library Association 
recognizes that one institution or professional association cannot eliminate the barriers alone, but strongly 
believes that professional associations, with the participation and contributions of library professionals 
from multicultural backgrounds, have a significant role to play and must provide leadership by example.

To qualify, an applicant must: Be a librarian/information professional; a member of one or more of the 
following groups of American underrepresented ethnicity: American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian or 
Pacific Islander, African American, or Latino; hold a master's degree from a library and information science 
program accredited by the ALA or from a program that meets the ALA/AASL curriculum guidelines within 
a unit accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education; have a minimum of 
three years of professional working experience in a library or information science environment; be a citizen 
of the United States; be a member of the ALA at the start of the fellowship.

The 1995– 96 stipend for the ALA Minority Fellow is $30,000 plus medical, dental, life, and disability 
insurance and relocation assistance to Chicago. To obtain more information about the program or to
