LORI Grants are subgrants offered by the Office of Library and Information Services (OLIS) using its federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds. LORI Grants are given in accord with LSTA funding priorities. The purpose of the LORI grant program is to fund projects that contribute to resource sharing among LORI libraries. Projects that benefit the multi-type library community are strongly encouraged and will be given highest priority. Priority will be given to collaborative projects involving more than one library, to projects that address sharing resources and holdings information online, digitization, and to new and innovative projects that can be used as a model for other libraries.
