Abstrakt: Since its inception in 2007, the Strategic Directions Microgrant Program (SDMP) at the University of Houston Libraries has funded a wide variety of activities, from late-night pancake suppers for students to technology training for librarians. This paper describes the origin, implementation, and evolution of the SDMP and presents the program as a potential model for other libraries interested in developing a small grants program that encourages creative, entrepreneurial projects to advance strategic goals.
