I would be grateful if colleagues could advertise this
scholarship appropriately.
'James G. Olle Scholarship
At the July 2001 meeting of the Library History Group committee
it was agreed that LHG would fund an annual scholarship of £500
to improve the level of activity in library history. The scholarship
is named after the late James G. Olle, an active teacher and writer
in library history. The scholarship has the full support of his
daughter.
Prospective candidates for the scholarship should be undergraduate
or postgraduate students, undertaking a discrete piece of advanced
work, and members of the LHG. The winner of the award must present
the findings of the work in the public domain, either as a published
report or via the presentation of a paper. A report in the Newsletter
will be the acceptable minimum. Grants of up to £500 will be made
on the basis of a submitted budget. The award will be made on the
decision of a sub committee of the LHG committee. The first award
will be made in the calendar year 2002.
Expressions of interest or applications which should include a CV,
a brief statement of plans, a draft budget and the name and address
of at least one referee should be sent to the Group Secretary:
Dr Jean Everitt,
Project Manager,
'Mapping Wales',
Hugh Owen Library,
University of Wales,
Penglais Campus,
Aberystwyth SY23 3DZ
By 31st August 2002'.
Many thanks,
Dr Chris Baggs,
Aberystwyth
