Applying for research grants and scholarships: Just do it!
Thought I'd share with you a short article I wrote for the ALIA QUILL Newsletter about applying for research grants and scholarships. It also gives a bit of insight into why I applied for the D&W scholarship.
If you are interested, please visit: http://alia.org.au/groups/quill/issues/2005.9/applications.html
I have also wrote a number of other articles for QUILL over the last couple of years. So you might be interested in reading those as well.
On a side note, although still about research, I'm not sure if many of you work in academic libraries, but if you do, I'm sure you've heard of the Research Quality Framework. I think it's something that academic libraries should be keeping an eye on this as it will be opening many doors for us in assisting academics to discover how to put together portfolio's of their research. It may even prompt us to thinking how we do our research in the future.
