Abstract
The CLR Professional Education and Training for Research Librarianship program was born out of a conviction that the profession of research librarianship needs substantial, dedicated help to recast its academic base. In 1980, after many discussions with university administrators, library educators, and library directors, the Council presented the case for a new program to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation, and grants of $650,000 and $450,000, respectively were awarded. (The Pew Manorial Trust began supporting the program in 1982.) An advisory committee of librarians and library educators was appointed to help shape the program and to guide its development. The overall goals for the program were established, and they continue to guide the program’s activities.
