With the financial support of the National UC&R Committee the Welsh section UC&R are offering sponsorship for a student to attend the national CoFHE / UC&R study conference, which takes place from 3 - 6 July 2006 at the University of East Anglia, Norwich.
The Conference is titled Lead, Develop, Change: future-proofing your skills.
The conference will explore the role of Information Professionals in the constantly changing world of FE and HE. It will have lots of stimulating speakers and workshops, and there will be many chances for networking.
Attendance will provide an excellent introduction to academic librarianship.

To apply, please send an e-mail (max 300 words) explaining why you would like to attend the conference.
Please submit your application to me Steve Lee Chair UC&R Wales ([log in to unmask]) by the end of June 16th. The committee will notify the successful applicant by Tuesday June 20th.
