APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTINGS
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:
