More about this award:
The Dissertation Award was established in 2009 by the PR & Promotions Committee’s annual Dissertation Award was established in 2009 with the aim of recognising and encouraging new entrants to the profession. BIALL feel that it is important to ensure that those qualifying in any of the Library and Information Studies courses are aware of the many varying career opportunities to which their qualifications can lead. Legal Information professionals work in a number of fields, including academic institutions, law firms and barristers chambers, with a variety of job roles. The PR and Promotion Committee have organised a successful series of talks to Library Schools since the Committee was established in 2007 and the Dissertation Award is a development of the links between BIALL and the Schools.
The award is now administered by the Awards & Bursaries Committee and is open to all undergraduate and postgraduate library school students on a CILIP accredited course.
Kind regards,
BIALL Awards & Bursaries Committee.
