The HKLA is now inviting applications for the Heleni Linton Bursary Award from members who are full or part-time students of library and information science to assist in their studies.  For example, the Bursary might help with research costs, conference attendance, short sabbaticals, course fees and the like.

The Heleni Linton Memorial Account was established in commemoration of Heleni Linton, an outstanding librarian who was tragically killed in a plane crash in May 1991.  The Bursary, which amounts to HK$5,000, will be assessed by considering the potential applicability and contribution of the proposal to library and information science in our region and the likely impact of the Bursary on the career of the applicant.

Please access http://www.hklib.org.hk/education.html for full details of the Bursary.  A downloadable application form is available at http://www.hklib.org.hk/pdf/helefora.PDF

Deadline for application is Aug 31, 2003.
