Information Outlook, March, 2001

The Southern California Chapter of the Special Libraries Association conducted their annual scholarship fundraiser in cyberspace this past January. The 2001 Karen Sternheim Memorial Scholarship will be funded by items auctioned on eBay in April. Chapter members have already donated an eclectic group of items, and many more are expected in the coming months.

Items so far include top-quality, member-created crafts and artwork, autographed celebrity photos, and rare media productions. The exact dates of the April auction are yet to be determined, but the event will take place at the following URL: http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/ sternheimfund@yahoo.com/. The Karen Sternheim Memorial Scholarship was established to provide assistance to library and information studies graduate students who intend to pursue careers in special librarianship. The scholarship is awarded annually by the Southern California Chapter of the Special Libraries Association. This year one $3000 scholarship is available.
