Hello,
SLA Europe is delighted to offer four opportunities for current European
library and information science students and new professionals (those who
have been working in the field for less than five years) to attend the 2013
SLA Conference.
SLA Europe are offering awards with four Divisions of SLA: Business &
Finance, Leadership & Management, Legal, and Pharmaceutical & Health
Technology. This year’s Early Career Conference Awards will provide
valuable opportunities for new professionals in LIS to develop and
establish themselves within their chosen sector.
The Awards allow winners to attend the 2013 SLA Annual Conference and
INFO-EXPO in San Diego, 9 – 11 June 2013 and cover all expenses
including conference
registration, hotel accommodation, economy return airfare to San Diego, and
meals.
The deadline for applications is 15 February 2013 and winners will be
notified in March 2013.

Previous Award winners thoroughly enjoyed their experience of attending the
SLA Conference and their ongoing participation in SLA. Here are just some
of the benefits highlighted in their post-conference articles for SLA
Europe:
- Gaining a broadened perspective on the many careers a Library and
Information Science (LIS) degree offers by attending Conference programme
events and meeting seasoned information professionals at the Conference.
- Receiving professional recognition from SLA Europe members and the
co-sponsoring SLA Divisions. Award winners will be formally acknowledged in
San Diego by the Division co-sponsoring them. They will also be introduced
at the International Reception and the First Timers Reception.
- Being able to travel to the United States and meet information
professionals from all parts of the globe.
