BIALL Conference 2010

With thanks to Justis, sponsor of the BIALL Annual Study Conference Scholarship, I will be heading off to the UK shortly to attend the British & Irish Association of Law Librarians (BIALL) annual study conference. This year’s conference has the topical theme Risks and Opportunities: Managing information in difficult times, and will be held in Brighton, 10-12 June 2010. The BIALL conference offers an appealing programme, which includes an interesting paper by Australian librarian Alissa Sputore from Melbourne Law School, "A Blue Chip Investment: Law Research Services to Support Academic Research". I would be happy to hear from anyone interested in the conference in general, or in selected papers. Of course, I will be reporting back from the conference. I would like to thank Justis once again for sponsoring the scholarship, ALLA for selecting my application, and of course, conference hosts, BIALL. I would also like to thank Jean McKay and Dennis Warren, previous scholarship recipients, for their invaluable conference and travel tips. For those interested in attending future BIALL conferences, do remember the BIALL Annual Study Conference Scholarship - details and guidelines are located under Scholarships & Awards. Kind regards, Tracey
