Hello everyone
I am absolutely delighted to announce the recipients of SLANZA’s Study Grants for 2017. Our warmest congratulations go out to these successful applicants:
We all understand that working and studying takes quite some commitment. So it is especially gratifying to know that many SLANZA members are continuing their learning in the field of Information and Library Studies. SLANZA is committed to helping make this undertaking easier where we can, as we believe that it will benefit not just our members as their library careers unfold, but that the students and staff in their schools will benefit too, from working alongside a librarian with a deep understanding of their field, and a personal commitment to life-long learning, continual improvement and innovation. Best wishes once again to all our grant recipients! Sandi Faulconbridge Professional Development Team Leader
