Elsevier/LIRG Research Award 2006/7
The Elsevier/LIRG research award is designed to promote research in library
and information science. The aim of the award is to encourage and
facilitate research by practitioners in the field.
The Library & Information Research Group (LIRG) welcomes proposals from all
sectors of the profession, and particularly invites practitioners to apply,
either as sole applicants, or in collaboration with academic or independent
researchers. LIRG is happy to receive applications from academics in
library and information science departments and proposals which are
submitted in partnership with practitioners are particularly welcomed.
The award is worth £1000, and designed to support small scale research
projects for which it may otherwise be difficult to find funding. The Award
may be used to defray research expenses (e.g. travel, postage costs), to
fund attendance at high level meetings or to fund a study tour. However, a
clear overall aim for the research must be stated.
Guidelines for submission and evaluation criteria are on the LIRG web pages
at:

The closing date for submissions: 28th February 2007
