The Libraries, Archives, Records and Information Science (LARIS) Team encourages eligible applicants to apply. Our Discipline Lead, Paul Genoni, welcomes you to contact LARIS staff if you need assistance or advice with an application.

Recent recipients of this prestigious award include Curtin grads Sophie Farrar (2016) and Chloe Czerwiec (2015).

Subject: [WAIN] 2017 F A Sharr Award nominations open


Nominations are now open for the 2017 F A Sharr Award.

The F A Sharr Award is named after Francis Aubie (Ali) Sharr, State Librarian in Western Australia from 1953 to 1976, in recognition of his contribution to libraries and librarianship in Western Australia and to the profession more broadly.

The award was inaugurated in 1976 when the F A Sharr Medal was presented to late Mrs Jean Ryding, a Western Australian student of librarianship. The award is now presented to a Western Australian librarian or library technician within their first three years following graduation, who exhibits the most potential to make a significant contribution to the library profession in WA.
