Travel Information

The ARL LCDP will provide each participant with up to $500 per event for travel expenses to attend the March 2013 and April 2014 LCDP Institutes. Fellows may use the allotment for air and/or ground transportation and for incidentals associated with attending the events.

The ARL LCDP will also support up to four nights lodging (double occupancy*) and most meals for each of the LCDP Institutes II and III. N.B. LCDP fellows are expected to attend the LCDP Orientation and Final Institute and Closing Ceremony and Poster Session—both held during ALA conferences—but no travel support is provided by ARL for those events.

*Please note that if the fellow requests and is provided single-occupancy lodging, the fellow (or the home institution where appropriate) will be invoiced for the additional room expenses.
