LAS Council is pleased to announce that Ms Debby Wegener from Temasek Polytechnic Library and Ms Winnifred Wong from National University of Singapore Central Library have received full sponsorships to attend the Congress of Southeast Asian Librarians (CONSAL) XIV Conference to be held in Hanoi, Vietnam on 21-24 April 2009.

An announcement inviting applications was sent to all LAS members on Tuesday, 18 November 2008 as well as to Nanyang Technological University students in the Master of Science in Information Studies programme.

CONSAL organizes a conference every three years and LAS supports the objectives of CONSAL as well as this conference. The Council agreed to encourage attendance to this conference and to promote this conference as part of the ongoing “LAS Overseas Library Conference Sponsorship” programme benefiting LAS members in the form of subsidies for professional growth.

Both individuals will share their experience to our LAS community via the Singapore Libraries Bulletin Blog.

Congratulations Ladies.
