Lynn Pollack Memorial Scholarship

Lynn Pollack was a strong role model for many law librarians. She was inspirational in her dedication to her profession. She encouraged and supported her colleagues, taking an interest in their careers.

As a tribute to Lynn's memory the Australian Law Librarians' Association (ALLA) has established a scholarship to assist new law librarians and library technicians in their professional development. The scholarship gives a new law librarian or technician the opportunity to attend the Australian Law Librarians' Conference.

Pacific Assistance Award

In 2011 the former Pacific Scholarship became the Pacific Assistance Award.

This monetary award provided an opportunity for a Pacific Law Library staff member, such as a library manager, librarian or library assistant, to improve capacity within their library workplace and therefore benefit the library and the law and justice sector agency they work in.

For example, the award could be used to:

  • Purchase textbooks for the collection and/or subscription to legal databases;
  • Purchase essential equipment such as a printer, digital camera, scanner and/or hard drive;
  • Purchase bookshelves and/or furniture; or
  • Invest in professional development such as improving legal research skills or gaining a librarianship qualification.

Three Assistance Awards were granted each year:

One Assistance Award of $1500

One Assistance Award of $500

A one year subscription to the Australian Law Librarian journal
