Indiana's Librarians Leading in Diversity (I-LLID) MLS Fellowship

In June 2008 the State Library announced receipt of a $1 million grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services for recruiting and educating 30 ethnically/racially diverse students for Indiana’s Librarians Leading in Diversity project. The first class of 10 fellows began classes in January with seven students in Indianapolis and three in Bloomington. The second class of ten fellows will begin class in August with seven students in Indianapolis and three in Bloomington.
