This $3,000 fellowship has been sponsored by Reference Service Press since 1993/4 and is offered annually (through the California Library Association) to students interested in pursuing a graduate degree in reference/information service librarianship. Applicants are judged on the basis of academic performance, professional goals, and commitment to the profession. Our goal is to select students who are the best of the best and can be counted on to make significant contributions to reference and information services in the future.
