[Debal Chandra Kar]

Dear Colleagues:

The Asian Chapter of the Special Libraries Association in conjunction
with the Science-Technology Division of the Special Libraries
Association is offering a very unique award for one Asia based
Master's level student in the field of Library and Information Science
who has a particular interest in a career related to some aspect of
the field of Science and Technology librarianship.

The award will fund the costs associated with traveling to Washington,
D.C. in June 2009, to attend the Special Libraries Association's
Annual Conference, which also happens to be the SLA's 100th
Anniversary.  The US$ 1800 Award will cover economy class air fare,
lodging while in Washington, D.C., conference registration, a one year
membership in the SLA, and incidental expenses.

More details about the award including application requirements are
attached. The deadline for applying is 31 December 2008.

The Special Libraries Association (SLA) is a nonprofit global
organization for innovative information professionals and their
strategic partners. SLA serves more than 11,000 members in 75
countries in the information profession, including corporate,
academic, and government information specialists. SLA promotes and
strengthens its members through learning, advocacy, and networking
initiatives. For more information, visit us on the Web at www.sla.org.

The Asian chapter of SLA is one of the largest chapters, covering a
geographical area consisting of over 20 Asian countries. The Asian
Chapter organizes workshops, seminars, meetings and training as well
as networking opportunities for Asian information professionals by
linking them to their counterparts throughout Asia and the rest of the
world and also offers an awards program. For more information on the
Asian Chapter, please visit

We believe that this SLA Asian Chapter Award provides an exceptional
opportunity for a talented student to travel to the US and to enhance
their skills and understanding of librarianship through meeting a
large number of top level information professionals from around the
world as well as attending Conference sessions and a very large
Information Exhibition.  We would very much appreciate your help in
publicizing this Award among the students in your program.
