2018 JOHN MERRIMAN JOINT NASIG/UKSG AWARD
 
Win a fully funded trip to the USA or the UK!
 
Enter our joint NASIG/UKSG competition to attend the premier conference for the scholarly information community on the other side of the Atlantic – the NASIG Annual Conference in Atlanta, GA, 8-11 June 2018 and the UKSG Annual Conference in Glasgow, 9-11 April 2018.
 
NASIG and UKSG are offering two lucky members, one from NASIG and one from UKSG, the chance to attend each other's annual conference.  The award is intended to cover travel and accommodation costs and each award recipient will also receive paid conference registration (which includes most meals).  Named in honour of John Merriman, in recognition of his work in founding both UKSG and NASIG, it provides an invaluable opportunity for people to learn and share experiences.
 
The UK award winner will be supported by the generous sponsorship of Taylor & Francis Group for the US trip and will in addition receive full financial support from UKSG to attend the UKSG conference.
 
Last year’s UK winner said:
 
“I was delighted to win the John Merriman Award that enabled me to attend NASIG 2017 in Indianapolis.  The conference was very well organised with a good variety of sessions.  I was able to network with many library colleagues in America and found this very beneficial.  At the concurrent sessions I shared my knowledge and experience about approaches to open access promotion in my University with colleagues who are in the process of setting up their institutional repositories.  In return I gained knowledge about recent cataloguing developments and was introduced to the concept of open educational resources, something we do not currently focus on at my institution.  The social activities at the conference were excellent.  I enjoyed my evening at the Indy Car Factory where I got the chance to ride in an Indy Car.  I also attended a baseball match and enjoyed the atmosphere very much.” Eimear Evans, Institutional Repository Officer, McClay Library, Queen’s University Belfast
