[eIFLoa] ETD 2008 3 days left to apply for the scholarship

[Iryna Kuchma]

Dear colleagues,

Registration is open for ETD 2008: Spreading the Light", the 11th
International Symposium on Electronic Theses and Dissertations being held at
The Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland from 4th June until 7th
June 2008: http://www.rgu.ac.uk/etd/home/

And 3 says left to apply for scholarships: The NDLTD has made available
approximately £2,500 to support delegates who require financial assistance
towards the cost of paying their conference fees, accommodation and/or
travel. Some additional funding may be available from other sources in the
near future.
Potential delegates who would like to submit an application for funding
should complete the form (http://www.rgu.ac.uk/etd/scholarships/) and send
it to s.copeland[at]rgu.ac.uk by 21 March.

The NDLTD initiative consists of a large number of contributing member
universities, libraries, information organisations, consortia and
individuals. (Membership details are available on the NDLTD website and
dues-paying members are offered a discount on the conference registration
fee). The NDLTD's activities are focused on those who produce, manage, store
and use electronic theses and dissertations in order to support the
authoring, indexing, archiving, dissemination and retrieval of ETDs
worldwide.

"ETD 2008: Spreading the Light" is organised by the NDLTD, The Robert Gordon
University and The University of Nottingham, with crucial and generous
sponsorship provided by non-profit interest groups and corporations that
produce hardware, software, and knowledge management solutions for digital
archives and repositories.

The purpose of "ETD 2008: Spreading the Light" will not only be to present
research outcomes and demonstrate new developments and initiatives in the
field of electronic theses and dissertations, but also to encourage even
more universities around the world to become a part of the NDLTD and to
promote free, open and long-term access to online scholarship. For
institutions and individuals that are at the early stages of investigating
how to operate and promote an ETD project or programme, the conference will
also offer a range of learning and networking opportunities within an
international collegial atmosphere of a premier university for graduate
professional education.

With best wishes,
Iryna.
