Apologies for cross-posting 2011 LIRG/JIBS Student Awards - closing date is 13 May 2011. The Library and Information Research Group (LIRG), in conjunction with JIBS, awards a student research prize of £300 each year for a research-based project. Each School of Library and Information Studies is invited to nominate one of their students' projects for the award. LIRG offers the prize to promote a greater awareness amongst students of the importance of research and to facilitate the dissemination of the results of outstanding projects. More information about the LIRG Award: http://www.cilip.org.uk/get-involved/special-interest-groups/research/awards/pages/lirg-student-prize.aspx The JIBS award focuses on the area of library information systems, bibliographic databases or other resource discovery technologies and how such resources or technologies are being developed or exploited.
