REMINDER FOR APPLICATIONS [CLOSING DATE 31st December 2002 ]
The Library & Information Research Group (LIRG) invites entries for the
Daphne Clark Prize which is awarded for excellence in practitioner based
library and information research. The Prize is intended to foster sound
practitioner based library and information research and to encourage the
wider dissemination of such studies.
The Prize is worth £250 and entries will be judged each year by a panel
made up of members of the Library and Information Research Group. The
judging panel will look for evidence of successful innovation based upon
methodologies and results which are reliable and transferable. Entries are
invited from any individuals or staff teams who have conducted practitioner
based research. Their employer can also nominate candidates. The research
must have been completed within the last two years. Any sort of research
project can be nominated but note that externally funded projects are not
eligible. The award is open to applicants resident in the UK.
Entries should include the name of the candidate(s), a contact address, and
a brief CV together with a short summary (2000-5000 words) of the research
activity, method, and outcomes. This could be the report of the study
supplemented by a brief description of how the research was applied.
Candidates may be required to provide further evidence of the work
undertaken (e.g. working papers, reports, committee papers etc.) if
required.
The winners will be asked to submit a short report describing their
research within three months of receiving the Prize. This will be
published in the Group's journal, Library & Information Research News or
publicised as considered appropriate by the judging panel. If the research
findings have been previously published, then the report submitted for
Library and Information Research News must demonstrate originality.
