Digital Projects Documentation

Working together, the DALNET community has established the Program Initiative Reserve as a shared resource, in support of the DALNET mission, to provide access to information for research, cultural enrichment, and lifelong learning opportunities.

Programs and projects to be funded must support the DALNET Mission.

Grants will be awarded for the cooperative advancement of the DALNET mission.

Application for funding to enhance or strengthen library services is open to current DALNET members.

Proposals strengthening relationships among DALNET institutions may have a greater chance of being viewed favorably when grant applications are reviewed. When proposing partnerships and contracting for programs or projects, grant applicants may wish to consider establishing such relationships with other DALNET member institutions and employees of those institutions.
