LAUC 2008 Spring Assembly Travel Grants

LAUC will sponsor four to eight travel awards for members to attend the LAUC Spring Assembly on Wednesday, May 7, 2008 at UC Irvine. In addition to the usual business part of the meeting, the Assembly will include a morning presentation from Stephen Abram from SirsiDynix entitled “Heading for the 3.0 World: Technologies and Behaviors to Watch” and an afternoon session by Brian Schottlaender (UL at UCSD) discussing the Final Report of the Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control. I especially encourage newer LAUC members to apply for an award to attend the Assembly. At least two awards will be funded among the five northern campuses, and at least two from among the five southern campuses. Awards include the following support:

NORTHERN TRAVEL AWARDS:
• Cost of roundtrip airfare, northern California airports to John Wayne/Orange County Airport

SOUTHERN TRAVEL AWARDS:
• Cost of roundtrip ground transport to the Bren Events Center, UC Irvine

Lunch and morning refreshments will be provided. UC Irvine staff/librarians will provide transportation to/from John Wayne/Orange County Airport for those flying in.

HOW TO APPLY:
LAUC members interested in applying for this travel support should write a brief (50-150 word) statement of interest and send it by email to:

Bob Heyer-Gray, LAUC President

Notification of funding will be made by April 14, 2008
