From Library Journal
Since it was first published in 1984, Bauer's manual has become a standard in its field. In this new edition, he has updated the examples, added some new strategies, and expanded the information about online resources. Bauer offers many suggestions and tips (as well as encouragement) to help grantseekers become proactive. The first section does a good job of helping grantseekers see the grant proposal from the grantor's perspective. It also provides information on how to develop and document a proposal, write and refine it, and find the right venue for it. The second and third sections cover the process of identifying and applying for government and private grants. In addition to clarifying the differences between public and private funding, these sections detail the planning, research, and submission of grants, as well as how to follow up on them. The book includes tables, charts, and worksheets that summarize the information and help grantseekers focus their thinking. If a library can only purchase one book on developing grant proposals, this one should be at or very near the top of the list.AKathy Breeden, Univ. of Tennessee at Chattanooga Lib.
