IGI Global recently announced its 2014 Academic Librarian Sponsorship Award, supporting a librarians' attendance at one of the industry's most important events. In an ongoing effort to help librarians grow professionally and increase their understanding of the changing state of knowledge resources, IGI Global will award one librarian a $500 stipend to attend the 2014 Charleston Conference.

Held in Charleston, South Carolina, from November 5-8, this annual, informal gathering of librarians, publishers, and library materials vendors centers around discussion of issues important to the research community. The theme of this year's conference is "The Importance of Being Earnest."
