Have an interest in Federal Librarianship? Good news! The ALA&#8217;s  Federal and Armed Forces Libraries Round Table (FAFLRT) offers two  student awards to defray the cost of attending the annual conference. Applications for the 2011 awards are being accepted until April 15, 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Julie K.

It has long been Shirley Loo&#8217;s goal to  provide assistance to students to get them involved in ALA.
