SAGE sponsors new ALA scholarship Respected Friends, Greetings for the day. Academic publisher SAGE has announced its support for a new American Library Association (ALA) scholarship, the Peter Lyman Memorial/SAGE Scholarship in New Media. The scholarship was created in memory of Peter Lyman, former university librarian and professor emeritus of the School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley. Professor Lyman was nationally known for his landmark study on information overload entitled, "How Much Information?" co-authored with Hal Valerian. The Peter Lyman Memorial/SAGE Scholarship in New Media will support a student in an ALA accredited master's programme in Library and Information Studies pursing a specialty in new media. New media is defined as digital technology's transformation of business and culture during the past 25-plus years, clarifying the evolution of digital communications and human-computer interaction. The scholarship winner must have demonstrated academic excellence, leadership and evidence of a commitment to a career in librarianship. The recipient will receive a $2,500 scholarship as well as a travel stipend to attend the ALA Midwinter Meeting. Additional information about the scholarship is available online at www.ala.org scholarships.
