Regulations

Applicants must be current members of the Academic &  Special Libraries Section of the LAI. Students and the unwaged are welcome to apply. A&SL members who are attending conferences as speakers / presenters / poster presenters can also apply.

Conferences must be attended in 2016.

Bursary winners will be expected to produce a short conference report which will appear on the A&SL website and/or in An Leabharlann. Winners may also be invited to share their learning experiences with other A&SL members at an appropriate A& SL event.

When claiming travel and accommodation expenses, bursary winners must provide the A&SL Treasurer with valid receipts.

If unable to attend the conference for any reason, we would ask the bursary winner to notify the A&SL Treasurer as soon as possible, as conference fees may not be reimbursed without appropriate notice.
