The Pacific Libraries Scholarship has been established by the Australian Law Librarians' Group Inc. to provide professional development for law librarians/law library staff in the Pacific region, through attendance at law library conferences and the ALLG Symposium.

In 2004 we are very pleased that Blake Dawson Waldron and Thomson Legal & Regulatory have joined the ALLG in offering several scholarships for Pacific librarians to attend the 2004 Australian Law Librarians' Symposium in Canberra.
