Proquest sponsors BOBCATSSS 2014

Björn Olofsson and Maria Ziemer at Wednesday’s conference

We are happy to present one of our biggest sponsors, ProQuest. ProQuest connects people with vetted, reliable information through research solutions. They offer a service where you can search for books, journals etc from their database.
Three things are extra important for students to know about ProQuest right now.
First off ProQuest offers a lot of job oppurtunities for librarians and a lot of the people working there are librarians.
Secondly ProQuest offers a new social network, "Discover More Corps", where you can connect with both current and future librarians to share experiences and knowledges. With this new social network you also have access to their popular Quantum2 professional development series.

The third big thing, which is happening right now, is "The Roger K. Summit Scholarship" which is a scholarship awarded annually by ProQuest. The scholarship is open to all LIS students worldwide with an award that is equivalent of US $5,000. Applications will be accepted from February 1 until April 30.
Read more about the scholarship and how to apply.
