June 17, 2008
The Sturm College of Law and the Morgridge College of Education received a grant of nearly $1 million from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The grant will bring law library fellows to the law school for two years and will permit the Westminster Law Library to work on outreach programs in Colorado with the Colorado Supreme Court.
From the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) website:
“The University of Denver will develop and integrate into its curriculum significant course offerings in law librarianship, and recruit and educate ten new law librarians through a comprehensive law librarianship program specifically designed to provide students with the general competencies, specialized subject training, and extensive practical experience necessary to be successful in this field. The project will also provide extensive on-site training, field mentoring, and public outreach to populations currently underserved by the legal information community.”
“This is a wonderful example of interdisciplinary collaboration,” said Dean Beto Juárez. “I am grateful to JoAnna Patrick and Stacey Bowers, and to Morgridge Dean Ginger Maloney and Professor Sylvia Hall-Ellis. It is their hard work that made this grant possible.”
