Webinar 3: Funding Your Idea – An Introduction to Grants 

Angela Kroeze-Visser, Director of the Kielstra Center for Research and Grants, Dordt University

  • There is no shortage of great ideas, especially on a college campus.  The ability to implement those ideas though, often comes down to resources.  Grants are often considered as a way to provide resources, but the process of applying for a grant can be intimidating for some.  This session will introduce basic aspects of grant writing and grant administration using examples from several grant-funded projects at Dordt University’s Hulst Library.

Webinar 4: The Slow Library: Valuing Maintenance

Dean Riley, Senior Librarian, Houston Christian University

  • This webinar will delve into the topic of the importance of maintenance. Dean Riley’s work and hope is to develop a broader understanding of information and its role and importance in our daily lives, especially from a Christian worldview. He hopes that this understanding will help Christian librarians understand God’s Work even through research.

    In preparation for the webinar, please read this article that examines the value of maintenance.
