Information Matters – Library and Information Studies at the University of Brighton

I’m pleased to find out that one of our MSc Information Management students, Phillip Gatzke, has won one of the SLA Europe Early Career Conference Awards. This award is co-sponsored by the SLA Business and Finance Division. Phillip will be off to New Orleans in June for the SLA annual conference with his travel, accommodation and conference fees being covered by the award.

Phillip says, “I am very happy and grateful that they selected me as one of the two SLA Early Career Conference Award Winners 2010. It is a great opportunity to meet information professionals from all around the world, to share experiences and get insights from the conferences. Together with a mentor, we will be guided through the conference and attending the program events and meetings. I am really looking forward to a very interesting time in New Orleans, USA.”

Well done to Phillip – I wish I was going myself!
