2026 TEDSIG/NOTSL Technical Services Conference Grants
The Academic Library Association of Ohio (ALAO) Technical, Electronic, & Digital Services Interest Group (TEDSIG) and NOTSL seek to encourage technical services staff development and participation in ALAO activities. To that end, the ALAO & NOTSL Executive Boards have partnered this year to offer,
  • A conference Attendance Grant for registration (up to $190) and travel expenses (up to $200) and,
  • A conference Presenter Grant  for registration (up to $190) and travel expenses (up to $200)
Technical services staff currently employed in any Ohio library are eligible to apply.  Grant monies may be applied to registration, travel, hotel, and presentation-related expenses.

For those applying for the Presenter Grant, priority will be given to applicants with an accepted program or poster proposal for the upcoming ALAO conference. Co-presenters may apply jointly for the grant, in which case grant money may be shared amongst the awardees at their discretion.

These awards are intended to support and encourage technical services staff to attend and/or present at the 2026 ALAO Annual Conference. Applications for the 2026 conference are due August 31, 2026.
