West Excellence in Law Librarianship Scholarships, Application Period Now Open!

The West Excellence in Law Librarianship Scholarships program encourages leadership and excellence within the profession.  West awards scholarships of $2,500 each year to several full-time students working toward graduate-level library science degrees with a demonstrated interest in law librarianship.  Law librarians pursuing library science, law or graduate-level technology or computer science degrees as continuing education within the profession are also eligible.

Applications are accepted between Dec. 1 and Feb. 28 for the following academic year. Once the application period ends, recipients are selected by an independent scholarship advisory board made up of practicing law librarians from private, academic, corporate, and government law libraries.  The awards are announced during National Library Week 2006.

Please visit the Librarian Relations Web site for full details and an application form.
