     MAKING EFFECTIVE APPLICATIONS TO FUNDING BODIES: TWO BRITISH LIBRARY 
     WORKSHOPS
     
     These one-day workshops, organised under the auspices of the British 
     Library's Co-operation and Partnership Programme, are intended for 
     those wishing to know more about how to apply for funds from the 
     various funding bodies and sources available. 
     
     The workshops will be run by Roy Sully who, as a qualified librarian 
     and experienced fundraiser, was formerly Head of Development Office at 
     the British Library.  Roy is also currently revising "A guide to 
     additional sources of funding and revenue for libraries and archives". 
     The courses will equip participants with the knowledge and confidence 
     to make effective funding applications, not only to the British 
     Library but also to other funding organisations.  The workshops will 
     be relevant to a wide range of institutions, not just to those working 
     in libraries, although where possible examples will be drawn from the 
     library and archive world to illustrate the principles being taught.  
     The workshops will include the following:  
     
     * principles of good fund-raising
     * project definition
     * project management                                  
     * developing an effective case
     * project costing and budget control  
     * working with a partner organisation
     * research and writing skills
     *  acknowledging donors
     * project monitoring 
     
     There will be two workshops:
     
     at The British Library, 96 Euston Road, London on Friday 8th October
     at Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield, on Friday 15th October
     
     Each workshop will begin at 10.15am (registration) and finish by 
     4.00pm. There will be no charge for attendance.  Because places are 
     limited, and demand anticipated to be high, there will be a maximum of 
     2 places allowed per institution.  Lunch/tea/coffee
     will be provided.  Once a place has been allocated to you, please let 
     us know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend.
