WA Library Technicians Group (WALT) Conference grant

A biennial grant, to enable a WA library technician student or recent graduate to attend a national library technicians' conference.

The aim of the grant is to enable students and recent graduates of a library technician qualification course to experience the value of a national library technicians' Symposium . The ALIA national library technicians' Symposium is a prime source of professional development and networking opportunities for library technicians within Australia and overseas.

The grant is awarded biennially. Entry is open to members and non-members of ALIA. Applicants must be either a current student or recent (two years) graduate of an initial library technician qualification. Applicants must be residents of WA.

Applicants vying for the Grant will submit a short multimedia presentation focusing on the Symposium’s theme ‘Waves of Change’.

A panel of representatives from the Western Australian Library Technicians Group will judge the entries and determine the winner.

In 2013, the winner will receive full Symposium registration, return airfares and accommodation to the total value of $2000.

It is expected that the winner will attend the ALIA WALT group Symposium debrief and present a 10 minute report on their Symposium experience.
