Call for Proposals: Digital Library of the Caribbean

The Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC) is pleased to announce its third call for open educational resources (OER) in Caribbean studies. This project builds on over a decade of efforts across dLOC’s network of educators to share teaching tools, ideas, and practices. The dLOC OER initiative is an effort to make these types of resources more widely available.

We encourage applications from adjunct, part-time, and full-time college and university educators, independent scholars, librarians, archivists, curators, instructional designers, and graduate students from a range of disciplines and institution-types. We especially seek applications from individuals and groups based in the Caribbean.

Projects must be primarily intended for higher education or post-secondary students and relevant to Caribbean studies. Projects may or may not be directly connected to a formal course. We welcome projects with an orientation toward public humanities. Projects may be in any language of the Caribbean.

By April 14, 2025, at 11:59 pm EST, please complete the application form and upload a letter of interest as a single document (PDF) with the following:

• A brief description of your project

• How your project builds upon, enhances, adapts, or complements dLOC collections

• The amount of funding ($2,000 or $5,000) you are requesting

• Intended audience and potential ways to support outreach and dissemination

• A brief work plan indicating any activities where you may need support from dLOC staff
