Irene Vaslef Fellowship in Librarianship
Summer 2003
Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection is pleased to announce the inauguration of the Irene Vaslef Fellowship in Librarianship, a competitive program intended to serve librarians responsible for specialized collection development in university or research libraries that do not support a librarian's position dedicated solely to their discipline. The fellowship will provide for a month's summer residence at Dumbarton Oaks for the purpose of professional development for a librarian holding responsibility for Byzantine Studies, Garden History and Landscape Studies, or Pre-Columbian Studies.
This program is intended to strengthen library services in institutions that cannot afford a full-time specialist in the areas of Dumbarton Oaks' strengths, and to enhance our own library's research services in an increasingly interconnected world. Applicants may be full time bibliographers with collection assignments in multiple specializations, reference librarians with additional responsibility for collection development, or bibliographers who also have technical services responsibilities. Facility in written and spoken English is required
The Fellowship is named for Irene Vaslef whose 30 years of dedicated service in Byzantine Studies collection development helped shape the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library. It offers a stipend of $215 per week during residence at Dumbarton Oaks (July 7 - August 1, 2003), housing in the Fellows Building, lunch on weekdays, Dumbarton Oaks' contribution to health insurance, and travel expense reimbursement (not to exceed the lowest available airfare, up to a maximum of $1,300) if other travel support cannot be obtained.
Application deadline is February 28, 2003. Applicants should submit the following:
1- curriculum vitae.
2- letter of application describing a bibliographic project that uses the resources found at Dumbarton Oaks and how such a project will specifically benefit the applicant's home institution. Preference is given to proposals of mutual benefit.
3- contact information for 3 references, one of whom must be the applicant's current supervisor.
The selection committee will make its decision by March 15, 2003 and all applicants will be notified of the result.
