PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (2 February 2009)
SLA Europe invites current library and information science (LIS) students and professionals who have been working in the field less than five years, to apply for an all-expenses paid trip to the SLA Centennial Conference, 14-17 June 2009 in Washington, DC.
SLA Europe is offering four Awards jointly with three Divisions of SLA - Business & Finance, Leadership & Management and Insurance & Employee Benefits. The Awards will cover all expenses including Conference registration, hotel accommodation, economy return airfare to Washington, DC, and meals.
Applicants for the Awards can either be working in the library and information science field, with less than five years experience, or be currently enrolled in a Library and Information Science (LIS) programme in Europe. (Previously the Awards were only open to students). Applicants should also be interested in developing a career in special librarianship. Announcing the Awards, Barbara Robinson, Chair of the Early Career Committee said "These Awards are an important part of our outreach programme to encourage students and professionals at the early stages of their career in special librarianship. As part of a wider effort undertaken by other divisions and non-American chapters of SLA, they constitute a major part of the SLA mission to promote professional development and networking opportunities for information professionals world-wide". Sandy Peterson, one of the 2008 Award winners, summed up her experience: "Attending the Conference has had an enormous impact on my career. It has opened new horizons and introduced me to people working in many diverse fields, who are very knowledgeable and willing to help."

The deadline for receipt of applications is 28 February, 2009. Award winners will be notified in March 2009.
