Are you a librarian in need of funding for a business research project?
The Emerald Research Grant Award, sponsored
by Emerald Group Publishing Limited offers
one award of $2,500 and a citation to an individual or team seeking
support to conduct research in business librarianship. The awards
will be presented at the RUSA Awards Ceremony at the 2014 ALA Annual
Conference in Las Vegas. Recipients will be required to attend the RUSA
Awards Ceremony.
Candidates
must submit a detailed proposal outlining their proposed research
project; methodology, scope and timetable; how this project fits into
the existing literature; and projected
outcomes, including a statement outlining how this research will benefit
the library profession. Proposals will be reviewed for thoroughness;
potential to positively impact the library profession; and potential to
provide a useful addition to the existing
library literature. Proposals will be accepted from both individual
researchers and those working collaboratively. At least one member of a
collaborative team must be a member of ALA.
The deadline for proposals is December 15, 2013.
Proposals can be sent to elizabeth.stephan@wwu.edu
