****Library and Information Research Group (CILIP) Research Award 2008****
Deadline for submissions 29th February 2008
The Library & Information Research Group (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.
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. Applications from
academics in library and information science departments are also welcomed
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
