Dear members and friends,
ARLIS UK & Ireland is delighted to announce the winners of the 2019 Travel and Study Fund.
To celebrate the Society’s 50th anniversary and thanks to a generous £1,000 anonymous donation to complement the fund, Council has decided to award the following applicants:
Rosaline Love, King’s College London. As part of the research for her research to “explore information literacy in the context of haptic learning and sense perception by looking at how users interact with material collections and how this knowledge is organised and understood”, Rosaline will be visiting the Sitterwerk Art Library and Material Archive in Switzerland, the Material Archive at Gewerbemuseum Winterthur, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences - Design & Art.
Sarah Kafala, University of Essex. Sarah will attend Knowledge Exchange Week 2019 at University of Edinburgh Library in June 2019, and will contribute to her investigation in “using special collections and archives in research and teaching”.
Both candidates are LIS MA dissertation students. The panel felt that these were two very worthy projects that will foster research in our field and help new professionals at the beginning of their career. We also felt that they could potentially contribute important presentations/workshops at this year or future ARLIS Conferences.
Eleanor Gawne, Architectural Association School of Architecture. Eleanor will attend the ARCLIB/CNBA Conference in Venice in May 2019.
The panel felt that, as it has been often pointed out, we need more architectural content within our events and Eleanor’s report and potential presentation will make valuable contribution to it. It is also a worthy collaborative experience. In 1993 CNBA, the Italian architecture librarians group, hosted their first international conference in Venice at IUAV. Three members from UK architecture libraries attended then. ARLIS UK & Ireland member Ruth Kamen, the then RIBA librarian and producer of the Architecture Periodical Index, was in attendance and reported back in the ARLIS News Sheet No 100, Jan-Feb 1993. In this joint conference between ARCLIB and CNBA to celebrate the architecture librarians connection, quite a few ARLIS UK & Ireland members will be attending and presenting. It will be great to read Eleanor’s report of this renewed collaboration.
Hannah Dunne-Howrie, National Art Library at the V & A. Hannah will be attending the CILIP Copyright Conference 2019 on 2nd April. As the NAL.
The panel felt that Copyright law within art libraries is an important and not often covered issue in our events, and that Hannah’s report and any potential future presentation will be very useful.
Council is very glad that we are in a position to support four very difference activities and support both new and established professionals in their career to help celebrating the Society’s 50th anniversary and continuity in our profession.
We are very much looking forward to read their reports in ARLIS Matters https://arlis.net/blog/
Congratulations to the winners and best wishes in their endeavours!
