DANVERS, Mass.--Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), a not-for-profit organization creating global licensing and content solutions that make copyright work for everyone, named Missy Laytham, Head of Acquisitions, Loyola/Notre Dame Library, winner of its Conference Scholarship Program for Academic Librarians. Laytham received a travel stipend of $1,500 to attend the Charleston Conference.

“I was pleased to make new acquaintances that I probably would not have met outside of attending Charleston,” said Laytham. “Now I have new energy and several ideas to pursue that I hope will improve our service in the library and in my department.”

CCC is currently offering the same program for four academic librarians to attend ALA Midwinter January 24-28, 2014 in Philadelphia. Applicants must be full-time, permanent staff academic librarians currently employed by a US-based academic institution of higher education. A full list of requirements can be found here.
