Projects Funded
Ted Sibia, $1629.00 “Sikh Pioneer Projects”
Funding was used to support
travel to libraries in Berkeley, San Franciso, Portland, Oregon, and Jalandar,
India as well as for supplies, translations and other expenses. As a result of this grant, Ted has added new
material to his Web site: www.lib.ucdavis.edu/punjab
Status: Completed
Six grant applications were
submitted for statewide funding this year.
All were reviewed and ranked by the local committee. The chair then attended a meeting of
statewide representatives to evaluate these proposals. All were sent back for revision; they were
re-submitted and re-reviewed by statewide committee members. All were eventually approved for at least
partial funding. For a description of
these grants, see: http://www.ucop.edu/lauc/rpd/report-spring-2004.doc
The committee met several
times during the year to try to discover additional ways encourage more
research activity on the part of librarians.
Some ideas, generated late in the year, were regarded as worth exploring
further by the succeeding committee.
