The deadline for applications for the
ALISON NORTHOVER BURSARY
is 28th February 1999.
Members of the LA UC&R Group are invited to apply for funding for
professional development from the Alison Northover Bursary. For 1999
the amount of the bursary will be stlg400.
The bursary is awarded annually, to commemorate the contribution to
librarianship made by Alison Northover, Deputy Head of Reader Services
in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and committee member and Treasurer of
the University, College and Research Group of the Library Association
(UC&R). Alison died aged 48 in July 1997. She was committed to
professional development, both of herself and of others.
PURPOSE
The bursary is intended to support professional development, in
particular, course or conference attendance. While the bursary may
contribute towards meeting fees, it will not necessarily cover travel
expenses. Please note that the bursary is not intended to contribute
to fees or living expenses associated with library school courses.
REQUIREMENTS
Candidates should preferably be in current employment in library /
information work, and must be in current membership of the University,
College and Research Group of the Library Association. Successful

Applicants should include a brief CV, their LA membership number,

committee which will include the Chair, the Honorary Secretary and the
Honorary Treasurer and such other members as they may wish to co-opt.
The sub-committee's decision will be final. The bursary will be
awarded annually only if suitable candidates apply. At the discretion
