As one of COUNTER’s aims is to encourage publishers and librarians to work together internationally, we have decided to make a further two Awards, as follows: * One Award to provide funding for younger information professionals from outside the UK to attend the 2014 UK Serials Group Annual Conference (14-16 April 2014, Harrogate, UK) * One Award to provide funding for younger information professionals from outside North America to attend the 2014 Charleston Conference (5-9 November 2014,Charleston, SC) Eligibility Information professionals who are employed either in academic libraries or in smaller, not-for-profit publishers ( with total annual revenues less than $US5 million/£3.3 million) and who graduated from college or university, for the first time, with a Bachelor’s (or equivalent) degree no earlier than 2005, will be eligible to enter this competition for a COUNTER Travel Award.
