President's Budget Requests $271,246,000 for Institute of Museum and Library Services

President's Budget Requests $271,246,000 for Institute of Museum and Library Services

Highlights of the President’s FY 2009 IMLS budget request include the following:

* $214,432,000 for library grant programs, an increase of $14,469,000 from the FY 08 appropriation for the same purposes. This includes an increase of $10.6 million for the Grants to States program, bringing it to $171,500,000. This amount will enable the full implementation of a law passed in 2003 to provide a more equitable distribution of state formula grants. The request also includes $26,500,000 for the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program.

* $39,897,000 for museum grants, an increase of $8.6 million from the FY 08 appropriation for the same purposes. The request includes $3.8 million for Conservation Project support, $22.2 million for Museums for America, $2.1 million for 21st Century Museum Professionals, and $1.35 million for Museum Grants for African American History and Culture.

* This request includes $2.5 million for collecting public library and state library statistics, $500,000 to launch a pilot program on museum data collection, and $1,000,000 to study and report on the state of libraries and museums in the United States.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content.

Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
