LIRG Student Prize – Application date closing soon
The Library and Information Research Group (LIRG) awards a student prize each year for an outstanding research-based project on any LIS topic. 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. Entries are usually extremely high quality and very interesting to read, covering a diverse range of topics and utilising an increasingly wide range of research methods.
Nominations are invited for the 2016 award. Typical entries would be a Postgraduate dissertation or a final year Undergraduate project. Each type will be given appropriate consideration. Every Department of Library and Information Studies is encouraged to nominate one of their students' projects. For submissions to be eligible, the dissertation or project should have been submitted between August 2015 and September 2016.
The Award is for £300 and a short paper based on the winning dissertation will appear in a future issue of our journal, Library and Information Research (LIR).
The closing date for submission is 20 January 2017.
Further details on the prize and how to submit are available on http://www.cilip.org.uk/library-information-research-group/student-prize.
