Abstract: All proposals submitted for IMLS discretionary awards are reviewed by library and museum professionals who know the needs of communities, can share promising practices, and are versed in the issues and concerns of museums and libraries today. Peer reviewers dedicate their time and expertise to advance the highest professional practices in the field. The IMLS review process is respected, and the success of our grant programs is largely due to the expertise of our reviewers. These reviewer forms, accessed through the IMLS website, allow library and museum professionals to indicate their interest in being considered for selection as IMLS peer reviewers and to share information about their professional backgrounds, experience, and expertise as well as their basic professional contact information. There are two forms, one for library professionals and one for museum professionals.
