**IMPORTANT NOTE: If Strategic/Critical, Donor/Collection Development or Training funds are being requested for training or events that occur just before, during, or immediately after major conferences (ALA, ACRL, etc.) which the requestor plans to attend, these funds will only pay for any additional lodging, registration or other expenses specifically related to the training or event.
