The James G. Olle Studentships 2008-09
The Library and Information History Group of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals is to fund annual studentships up to a total annual sum of £500 to encourage the level of activity in library history. These awards are named after the late James G. Ollé, an active teacher and writer in library history.
Prospective candidates for the studentships should be registered students (undergraduate or postgraduate) of any academic discipline. A recipient of a studentship is required to present the findings of the work undertaken in the public domain within 2 years of the receipt of the studentship. This might take the form of an article published in an academic periodical, such as Library History, or a talk to a recognized gathering.
Occasionally bursaries may be awarded for a student to attend a conference on an aspect of library history. Recipients of such grants will be expected to write a report of the conference for inclusion in the L.I.H.G. Newsletter.
Studentships will be made on the decision of the L.I.H.G. Committee. Expressions of interest or applications, which should include a brief C.V., a statement of plans, a draft budget and the names and addresses of two referees, should be sent to the L.I.H.G. Awards Manager by 30th September 2008.
