The Elsevier/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: http://www.cilip.org.uk/specialinterestgroups/bysubject/research/activities/awards The closing date for submissions: 28th February 2007 Applications and enquiries should be sent, preferably by email, to: Dr Jean Yeoh LIRG Awards and Prizes Officer Information Services & Systems King’s College London Strand London WC2R 2LS [log in to unmask]
