Subject: REMINDER: LIRG Research Award
LIRG Research Award 2009
Deadline for submissions 28th February 2009
The 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.
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 at:
http://www.cilip.org.uk/specialinterestgroups/bysubject/research/activities/awards
The closing date for submissions: 28th February 2009
