Librarians Awarded Public Good Grant

The DU Public Good Fund awarded a grant for the Colorado Law Project to Stacey Bowers, Outreach & Instructional Services Coordinator at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, Westminster Law Library; Claire Williamson, Law Librarian Fellowship Program; and DU Professor Sylvia Hall-Ellis.

This project will create a public, legal information gateway website designed initially for use by Colorado’s public librarians and the general public. The project website will provide a single access point for publicly available legal information specific to Colorado. The website will focus on information most needed by the general public and will serve as a community outreach tool for public librarians.

The Public Good Fund is provided by the Provost and managed by the Center for Community Engagement and Service Learning to support faculty and staff conducting innovative community-based research. Since its inception in 2004, the Fund has provided $100,000 annually to support small grants of up to $10,000 each for faculty and staff engaged in public good work and research.
