Singapore Libraries Bulletin Blog : Library Association of Singapore

The LAS-YBP Award is given to recognize the contribution by a librarian in collection development or technical services which include acquisitions, cataloguing and serials management.  It also aims at providing an opportunity for the librarian to increase professional knowledge and experience through research or to present papers at conferences.  

We are pleased to announce the inaugural winner of this Award, Ms Saralee Turner. Ms Turner is currently the SILAS Authority Control Coordinator. She will be using the award to conduct research on how to optimize name authority work in the Singapore context. The annual award consists of a $2,500 grant donated by YBP Library Services/Lindsay and Croft.

LAS sponsored Fiona Kwan, a LAS member, to attend the LAS Conference.

 Legal Library Services offered sponsorship to support the Special Libraries Section and to encourage new membership. Ms Noraishah Shaharuddin, Library Executive from the Civil Service, was the lucky winner out of the new members who joined in December 2006.

Congratulations to Fiona and Noraishah!

Registration was closed on 8 January 2007 for both the conference “Librarians: Learning -> Strengthening -> Moving Forward” to be held on 29-30 January and the related workshop to be held on 31 January.  We have had a tremendous response and thank you for your strong support. 

We look forward to a rewarding and enriching event.
