We would like to thank everyone who volunteered to be a part of the 2012 DLF Forum Program Planning Committee (PPC). We had an incredible number of responses! The PPC slate was determined by several factors including having one person per institution, and a mix of veterans and new members, to represent the DLF community. There will be other opportunities for community members to contribute to the 2012 DLF Forum as we move closer to the event.

DLF FORUM FELLOWSHIPS FOR LIBRARIANS NEW TO THE PROFESSION
DLF FALL FORUM 2011: Baltimore, MD
October 31 – November 1, 2011
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: Monday, October 10th, 2011.
RATIONALE
Our digital library operations often contain librarians, staff, and assistants who are lively, intellectually engaged, and inquisitive, but who are not always routinely funded to travel to conferences where they can learn more about the library profession, see digital initiatives from other institutions, and meet leaders in the profession.
We all have an interest in encouraging newcomers to the profession, and to further this aim the DLF is pleased to re-introduce the DLF Forum Fellowships. The Forum remains an excellent place to hear about the latest advances in digital librarianship, to meet new colleagues and contacts, and to get involved with DLF initiatives. For more information, please see: http://www.diglib.org/forums/
