Grant from State-Wide Consortium

Exciting news! I have been awarded a grant from CARLI, the state-wide consortium, to develop the library's collections in Peace and War in Theater and Dance. I have to spend the money this year, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know (mchonechase@niu.edu). The only stipulations are that the materials have to deal with peace and war, that the titles are fairly unique within the state, and that once we purchase the materials, they have to be able to circulate within the consortium (so, for example, we would want anything too valuable or too rare).

I will be working on this project off and on throughout the year, until the money is spent. So, just let me know if you have any suggestions.
