Develops library services that provide all users access to information through local, state, regional, national, and international electronic networks.  Provides electronic and other linkages among and between all types of libraries.  Develops public and private partnerships with other agencies and community-based organizations.  Targets library services to people of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds, to individuals with disabilities, and to people with limited functional literacy or information skills.  Targets library and information services to persons having difficulty using a library and to underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty level. Brief Description of the Project (250 words or less):  Amount Requested: $  Participating Library/Libraries and Partners in Grant:  Grant Administrator and Fiscal Agent: Name and Title:  __________________________________________________________________ Signature Library Director (for the library administering a grant for a consortium) Name and Title:  __________________________________________________________________ Signature Who should be contacted with questions regarding this application? Name ______________________________________ Phone ______________________ Fax ______________________ Email __________________________________________________________________ Part 2 -- Proposal Project Title: Project Narrative Goals and Description In describing the project and addressing its goals, consider the questions listed here. The project narrative should reflect answers to these questions: What needs will be filled by the project? How was the need determined? Do the objectives of the project fit into the library s or consortium s long-range plan? If so, explain how. What are the goals of the project and how will achievement of the goals affect LORI libraries and their users? What value does the project have to the multitype library community? How does the project address the purpose of the LORI Grant Program and the specific LSTA priorities listed? Plan of Operation What objectives, outputs, or outcomes will be met during the course of the project? What activities will be undertaken to achieve the objectives, outputs, or outcomes? What are the target dates for achieving them? How will objectives, outputs, or outcomes be measured? How do they relate to the overall goal of the project? Monitoring and Evaluation To qualify for continuing federal funding from IMLS/LSTA, state library agencies are required to report how programs and projects are monitored and evaluated. For this reason, OLIS views the evaluation component as a critical part of any LORI Grant project. Consider the following questions when writing the grant s evaluation plan: How will the progress of the project be monitored during the year? How will specific outputs be measured? What outcomes are expected in terms of the impact on LORI libraries and library users? How will specific outcomes be described? Will you collect anecdotal evidence from /about library users? If so, then how? What specific data sources or tools (e.g., surveys, pre-and post-tests, evaluation forms, etc.) are going to be used to evaluate the project? How will success of the project be determined? Some of the terms used in the section above are described in Definitions on the final page of this application. If this proposal is for a program already in place, demonstrate the need for continued funding. Provide statistics or outputs as well as outcomes that demonstrate the programs ongoing value to justify renewed LORI Grant funding. Reports Recipients of LORI Grants will submit reports mid-way into and at the conclusion of the grant project. The reports will indicate whether the desired results were achieved. Reports should include information about the following: Activities and services: What were your activities? What did you do? What services did you provide? Inputs: What were your inputs? What did you use? How much did you spend? Outputs: What did you measure or count for your outputs? How many units did you deliver and to whom (who was the audience)? Outcomes: What were your outcomes? What did you achieve for the target audience? How do you know this? Describe some common characteristics of the participants (if applicable). Project Description: Part 3 -- Budget and Cost-Effectiveness Individual libraries, or a group of libraries, may apply for the full amount or a portion of the total LORI grant funds of $75,000. Libraries applying for any amount may indicate alternatives to the budget for a lesser amount in the event that the grant is only partially funded. When submitting a budget for partial funding alternatives, the library should indicate in detail what segments of the proposal would be changed or eliminated if the full amount is not awarded. Provide an explanation of why the LORI grant funds are needed. Libraries are encouraged to use LORI funds to leverage funding from other sources. LORI funds should not be used to supplant other available funding. If you are receiving other funding, identify the source(s). (LORI grants are funded with federal dollars and may not be used to match federal dollars from other sources.) Is the receipt of other funding contingent on receiving LORI Grant funding? Projects may be eligible for funding in subsequent years, contingent upon future LSTA appropriations. Provide a brief explanation of what, if any, continued funding in subsequent years you anticipate needing. Describe plans for managing the project budget and complete the copy of the budget sheet provided. Attach additional pages as needed to provide answers to the following: Explain the salary budget. Is it based on an hourly rate? If so, what is the rate and how did you arrive at that rate? Explain the reason for travel expenses and, if appropriate, give a breakdown of the travel budget. If you include a request for funds to purchase equipment, explain how you determined the cost of the equipment. Explain how you determined what equipment to purchase. Requests for contractual services should include justification for outsourcing the services.

Other (specify)  Total Budget (add columns)   Definitions The following definitions refer to terms used in the LORI grant application. Data sources: tools, documents and locations for information that will show what happened to your target audience; sources of information about conditions being measured. (For example, pre-post test scores, surveys, focus groups, attendance records, program records, assessment reports, records from other organizations, observations, etc.) Anecdotal self-reports include interviews and open-ended surveys. Evaluation plan: a clear representation of the links between the programs or projects activities, the results these activities produce, and how the results will be measured. For more information about evaluation, see the IMLS website at  HYPERLINK "http://www.imls.gov/applicants/obe.shtm" http://www.imls.gov/applicants/obe.shtm Goals (targets): the stated expectations for the performance of outcomes. Goals are stated in terms of a number and/or a percent. They may be estimated by program's past performance. Inputs: how much you use. Outcomes: what good you do. Your target audiences changed or improved skills, attitudes, knowledge, behaviors, status, or life conditions, brought about by experiencing a program. Outcomes may be immediate intermediate in long-term. Outcomes rarely include institutional benefits. Outputs: how much you do. Outputs are measurable; they can be counted. Program: activities and services leading toward independent outcomes. Programs generally have a definite beginning and end and are designed to change attitudes, behaviors, knowledge, or increase skills and abilities based on assumed need. Program purpose: relates to the organization's mission statement (or long-range plan) and defines the audience, outcomes, and services. The program purpose is driven by assumptions about need. Assumptions can be drawn from formal or informal research, the program's prior experiences, or a program partners experiences.
