Institutes
The summer institute is a three-day program designed to inform and create awareness of library and information science among potential scholars. It is an excellent way to meet with mentors and explore opportunities in the field. A number of LIS topics will be covered ranging from preparation for graduate studies to librarianship career exploration. Activities such as field trips to academic and local libraries and other cultural centers may also be included. The summer institute held annually at a different host institution from the partner network.
The Michigan State University Libraries are hosting the 2010 LAMP Summer Institute from May 20th to the 23rd; scholars, speakers, and affiliates may apply here. Non-LAMP affiliates who want to attend may complete and print a separate form.2009 LAMP Summer Institute
