Lenore F. Coral Travel Grant
The Lenore F. Coral Travel Grant 
is intended to help support travel/conference fees to attend an annual meeting of IAML. Applicants for the award should have little or no support from their home institution or library. The grant is open to all members of the
IAML-US Branch, but priority will usually be given to people attending their first or second IAML conference who have not received this award in a previous year. The grant is a cash award, subject to approval of the current year’s budget by the IAML-US Board. Applications should include a cover letter, a résumé, at least one letter of reference, and a proposed budget to be sent to the chair of the grant committee in late Winter. The deadline date and address for 2009 applications will be announced at a future time.
A report (with original receipts attached) of how the grant money was expended is due within 90 days of the end of the IAML conference for which it was awarded.
IAML-US is pleased to award the first Coral Travel Grant to Steven Nordstrom, music cataloger at the Anne Potter Wilson Music Library, Vanderbilt University, in support Steven's attendance of the July 2008 IAML meeting in Naples, Italy. Steven will be presenting a paper at the conference on Vanderbilt's newest digital audio initiative, the Global Music Archive, a multi-media reference archive and resource center for traditional and popular song, music, and dance of Africa and the Americas.
Created in memory of a beloved and dedicated, long-time IAML-US member, the Lenore F. Coral Travel Grant is supported by donations from individuals; please contact IAML-US Treasurer, Carolyn Dow, if you are interested in donating.
Neil Ratliff Outreach Fund
Shipping expenses for the IAML-US Donated Music Project are usually covered by the individual donor or donating institution. US libraries may apply to the Neil Ratliff Outreach Fund for reimbursement of expenses. Applicants need not be IAML members. Please send applications to the Treasurer of IAML-US:
The Treasurer, the head of the IAML-US Donated Materials Program, and one elected member of the IAML-US Board will consider applications.
The items offered must be music materials, as described in the guidelines for the IAML-US Donated Music Materials Program, and may be sent only to music libraries and institutions in "post-communist" and "developing" countries (see guidelines for amplification).
Describe the quantity and type of material; estimate the cost of mailing and any customs duty the recipient may incur.
Indicate any other source of funding for the mailing involved and whether your institution, if you are affiliated with one, is unwilling to cover costs.
The Treasurer will reimburse costs after receiving official receipts for all mailing and customs charges for applications previously approved.
