Travelling to succeed: introducing a library travel bursary scheme

Abstract

The University of Exeter Library Travel Bursaries Scheme was established in 2012 to support students who wish to visit other libraries and / or archives in order to further their studies. We award up to £200 to taught students who are undertaking or are about to undertake their final year dissertations or projects. Students can claim for travel, accommodation and access fee expenditure. Following a successful pilot year in 2012–13, the scheme has proved popular again in 2013–14 and we plan to continue this valuable opportunity for our students.
