Carnegie-Whitney Grant Info
ALA | Carnegie-Whitney Grant
THE CARNEGIE-WHITNEY GRANT GUIDELINES
Purpose
The Carnegie-Whitney Grant provides an award that is based on a special fund first established by Andrew Carnegie in 1902, “the income of which is to be applied to the preparation and publication of such reading lists, indexes and other bibliographical and library aids as will be especially useful in the circulating libraries of this country.” The Carnegie Fund was subsequently enhanced by a merger with a fund established by James Lyman Whitney in 1910. The Publishing Committee, a standing committee of the American Library Association, administers the grant.
The Carnegie-Whitney Grant provides grants for the preparation and publication, either in print and/or electronically, of popular or scholarly reading lists, webliographies, indexes and other guides to library resources that will be useful to users of all types of libraries in the United States.

Web 2.0 Collaboration
This is a wonderful example of international social networking using Flickr. This person from Korea found an image of a library in Germany that I took while on a library study tour and asked to use it for a project. It demonstrates how truly global Flickr is and affords such a wonderful level of social networking, especially in the Library world!
