Naish Peterson the ALLA President writes —
Nominations are now open for the ALLA Fellowship Award.
The ALLA Fellowship Award replaces the BIALL Scholarship and is open to ?all ALLA members. As this is a new award, no exclusions for previous ?scholarship winners will be applied, i.e. previous BIALL Scholarship ?recipients are eligible.
The successful applicant will receive $3000 to attend an international ?conference from the following list:
American Association of Law Libraries (AALL)
British and Irish Association of Law Librarians? (BIALL)
Canadian Association of Law Libraries (CALL)
International Association of Law Libraries (IALL)
International Federation of Library Assocations and ?Institutions (IFLA)
Joint Studies Institute (JSI)
New Zealand Law Librarians? Association (NZLLA)
With ALLA already offering the Lyn Pollack Award to attend the ALLA National conference and most State and Territory Divisions providing similar opportunities, the ALLA conference is not available as a ?conference to select for this Fellowship. ALLA also hopes that the Fellowship will enable our members to connect with colleagues on an international level.
This is a wonderful opportunity for an ALLA member to attend an international conference with very little out of pocket expenses.
Applications close on Friday 25th March 2011 and no late applications will be accepted. The application and guidelines can be accessed on the ALLA website.
