I recently finished a grant request to help my library purchase Ebsco's A-Z Article Linker for three years, hopefully I will get it. Then my plan for world domination....err I mean my plan for the library to be more electronically accessible and useful will be comming together. My first step was an online catalog and thanks to CyberTools we are in our first full year of having an online catalog, my patrons and I couldn't be happier. My second step is to provide an easy, logical method to access electronic journals (easier said than done). I would like to get Athens Eduserv to provide off campus access to our resources. Eventually, if I get wild crazy I would like to add electronic document delivery (Illiad / Odyssey).

Of course all of these things take money and my regular budget can not always accomdate these things. So I went looking for external funding and I ran across the Library Grants blog which gives information on grants and funding opportunities for libraries. It covers all areas of librarianship (public, special, medical, school, etc.) and all types of programs. There are other opportunities through your NLM Regions.
GMR has the Technology Improvement Award available to members for the purchase, installation, and/or upgrading of information technologies that enhance access to health information.
New England Region has technology awards for network members are Technology Awareness, Internet Connectivity, and Electronic Document Delivery.
SCR has grants for Access to Electronic Consumer Health Information, Information Access Improvement Project Award, Library Technology Award, and MedlinePlus Go Local.
The Pacific Southwest region has grants for MedlinePlus Go Local and Library Improvement Program.
The Pacific Northwest region has awards for Electronic Document Delivery Awards and comming soon: MedlinePlus Go Local Award, Connectivity Awards, and E-resource License Awards.

There are many more awards and grants out there that you could look into to help defer the cost of bringing your library more up to date with technology. Now if we can just work on getting our IT departments to allow these technologies (that we see the Library 2.0 people pushing) to be implemented in our library we will be cooking with fire.
