IMLS Issues RFP for Cooperator to Host the 2012 and 2013 WebWise
Conferences

Deadline: June 27, 2011

Washington, DC-The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)
invites proposals to develop and host the 2012 and prospectively 2013,

The cooperative agreement will last for two years; funds for the 2013
conference will be released only upon successful completion of the 2012
conference, availability of federal funds, and approval of the IMLS

The WebWise conference brings together technology experts and
representatives of museums, libraries, archives, systems science,
education, and other fields to explore the many opportunities to serve
their communities through the innovative application of new technologies
and to encourage broad geographic participation and input. To achieve
this goal, IMLS seeks to offer the 2012 conference in the Western US
(Oregon, Washington, California, or Nevada). The 2013 conference is
prospectively planned to take place in Washington, DC.

Organizations eligible for the award include:

*   public and not-for-profit institutions of higher education, 
*   all types of libraries and library consortia, 
*   all types of public and not-for-profit museums and museum
consortia, and 
*   professional associations serving the museum or library field.

Federally operated and for-profit museums and libraries are not eligible
to apply to host the conference.
