Great Grantsmanship: Finding Funding Sources
The University Library and the U-M Division of Research Development and Administration are offering the following workshop:
Great Grantsmanship: Finding Funding Sources
10/30/2007 10:00 AM-12:00 PM - Faculty Exploratory
This hands-on workshop will present an overview of online and human resources at UM that can assist you in getting research grants. University members have online access to resources that list and describe thousands of current funding opportunities from the Federal Government, Foundations, Professional Societies, and other sources. We will discuss and demonstrate the various web-based funding databases currently available, how to develop search strategies, establishing email alerts for new grants, and how to navigate university policies and timelines for grant-getting.

AAE Library gets Googlized
As you are probably aware, the University of Michigan Library is in the
midst of a massive digitization project in cooperation with Google, in which
most bound volumes in the library system will be scanned. As a result of
this project, all books not restricted by copyright will be available in
full text in Mirlyn and in Google Book Search. Books restricted by
copyright can still be searched for key words. More information on the
Michigan Digitization Project can be found here:
http://www.lib.umich.edu/mdp/index.html
As part of the Michigan Digitization Project, I am happy to announce that
the Art Architecture & Engineering Library will be the next library to
participate. On October 22nd Google will begin digitizing the books in our
collection. Several ranges of books will be removed for two weeks for
scanning. When these book return, another group will go out for scanning
until the entire circulating collection is scanned. I apologize in advance
for any inconvenience caused by the absence of our books during this period.
The following information may help to ease any inconvenience for this
period:
- Holds can be placed on all materials removed for digitization. Just log
into Mirlyn, search for the book, go to the location screen and hit 'Get
This'. The book will be held for you at the AAE Library circulation desk
for use when it returns.
- Library-to-library deliveries will continue as usual. If a second copy of
your book is elsewhere on campus, use the method above to have it delivered
to the AAE Library.
- Interlibrary loan service is also available. The average time for ILL
delivery is 5-7 days. Information and request forms are here:
http://www.lib.umich.edu/ill
- Current journals are not included in the project. These will still be
available in the library.
Thanks for your patience during the digitization project. If you have
questions or concerns about the project please contact Catherine Soehner,
Director, Art, Architecture, Engineering, and Science Libraries, University
Libraries. Her contact information is: csoehner@umich.edu or call
(734) 763-9813.
