Today I learnt that BIALL offers bursaries to attend any relevant, work-related course or seminar, even if it is not related to libraries or the law. It would be completely acceptable to apply for a bursary to attend a course on, for example, management skills or intranet software, as long as it is relevant to your job. To apply for a bursary you must be a personal member of BIALL. All you need to do is complete the application form on the website explaining why you would like to attend the nominated event.
The following factors are taken into consideration when the committee assesses your application:
- the quality of application
- whether or not you have received BIALL bursary in recent years
- if there is an expectation of future commitment and performance in the law library profession
- proven or potential contribution to and /or participation in the Association's activities
- the ability to be a good ambassador for BIALL, including being prepared to participate in conference sessions and activities
If your application is accepted, you would be expected to write a report that may be published in the BIALL Newsletter or Legal Information Management.
Further information is available on the BIALL website:
PS. I'm cheating a bit with this one, as I knew about the bursaries before today. But it's good to spread the word...
