** Ian Mowat Memorial Fund Bursaries, 2005 **
The Ian Mowat Memorial Fund was established to commemorate Ian Mowat
(1946-2002), Librarian to the University of Edinburgh. Ian had a keen
interest in the development of libraries and librarianship across the
world, especially in eastern Europe. He also had a deep commitment to
career development for librarians.
The Fund now has two bursaries to offer library staff from eastern
Europe to develop their careers, through a four week placement at
Edinburgh University Library during June 2005. The placements are not
salaried, but the Fund will cover all travel, accommodation and living
expenses.
Applications are invited from eastern European librarians who are
already working and who wish to develop their careers through
experiencing library work in the UK. There is no application form, but
you should submit a supporting statement (no longer than a page,
including the reasons why you would be interested in working in
Edinburgh University Library, what the experience would give you, and
how you would apply what you learnt on returning to your own library)
together with a CV in English and the names of two referees. The Board
of the Ian Mowat Memorial Fund will select the successful applicants.
The Board decision will be final.
The placement programmes for the two successful candidates will be based
on their supporting statements. To find out more about Edinburgh
University Library please visit our web site, Library Online, at

Applications should be submitted to Sheila Gove, Secretary to the
Director of Library Services, Edinburgh University Library, George
Square, Edinburgh EH8 9LJ, Scotland, UK (details in the signature
below).
Closing date for applications is 1st April 2005.
