University of Maryland Offering Electronic Funds Transfer System (EFTS) “Starter” Awards

(via Elizabeth Kiscaden, Associate Director for the National Network of Libraries of Medicine – Greater Midwest Region)

This information just came out from the Greater Midwest Region’s National Docline Coordinating Office – awards are made on a first-come, first-serve basis, so get your application in if you’re interested!

The Health Sciences & Human Services Library (HS/HSL) at the University of Maryland, Baltimore is excited to announce the creation of several “starter” awards for the Electronic Funds Transfer System<https://efts.uchc.edu/common/index.aspx>.

DOCLINE libraries that are not already making use of EFTS are invited to apply for the starter funds of $200 each to establish an account with EFTS, the billing component of DOCLINE.

$200 will be awarded to 28 DOCLINE participants that are not currently enrolled in EFTS, on a first-come-first-served basis.

To be eligible, all we ask is that you not already be an EFTS user, and that you affirm to the ongoing use of EFTS. If approved, funds will be deposited into an EFTS account under your DOCLINE LIBID.

To apply, interested institutions should send an email to HSHSL-NLMsea@hshsl.umaryland.edu<mailto:HSHSL-NLMsea@hshsl.umaryland.edu> with the following information:

Subject Line: EFTS Starter Award

LIBID:

My institution currently uses EFTS: Y/N.

Awards will be made on a first-come-first-served basis; once 28 applications have been approved, HS/HSL will be able to fund no more awards.
