The Dewey Library Blog

It’s summer and some of you might be turning your focus to funding your research through grants. Dewey Library has many resources to help you find the right organization to submit your proposals to. Plus, our librarians are more than willing to help you with finding grants.
For starters, here are some print resources in the Dewey reference collection:
• Annual Register of Grant Support: This book will give you a list of grant funders for all disciplines and specialties. REF AS 911 A2 A67
