Hello
Colleagues and Potential Candidates!
The Library Support Staff
Certification (LSSC) Program announced today that it is offering $200
subsidies for 75 candidates to complete LSSC approved courses. If the
cost of the course is less than $200, the subsidy will cover the cost of the
entire course minus materials such as books, etc. LSSC is a national,
voluntary certification program administered by the American Library Association-Allied
Profession Association (ALA-APA).
All LSSC
candidates are eligible to receive a subsidy by completing an application form
available here. ALA-APA will give first
preference to those candidates who have not received a previous subsidy. To apply for a subsidy, applicants must enroll in the LSSC by July 30, 2012. LSSC enrollment information is available here. Recipients will be chosen
using a random selection process; ALA-APA will announce subsidy awards on August
6, 2012.
Recipients
must complete an LSSC approved course by April 1, 2013. A catalog
of approved courses is available here. To receive the subsidy, recipients must add a Course Certification Certificate
to their candidate record and send proof of course payment to LSSC.
More
information about the course subsidies is available at our website.
The LSSC is
partially funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. For
more information, please contact LSSC staff at lssc@org or Ian Lashbrook.
