Summary of Grant Expenses
In our original proposal we budgeted $2,007 for an in-person training event. With the switch to remote work, we altered our budget to commit $2,500 to pay honoraria of $500 each to librarians from across the country to do an in-depth review of the toolkit.
The review was followed by a recorded Zoom interview in which received feedback, comments, and suggestions. In the end, we recruited six librarians for the review, increasing this line item to $3000.
Fortunately, we hired a Northwestern Libraries colleague to complete the accessibility audit for $1000, which was much less expensive than hiring a specialized company.
In the end, $441.26 was left unspent due to unforeseen student employee scheduling issues.
