Fazal Mohamed <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 3:54 AM Subject: [RSCAO-L] Applications for 2013 Anthony Thomson Award incorporating a funded study visit to the UK invited from New Professionals in South-East Asia According to the UN list, Cambodia, East Timor, Laos and Myanmar (Burma) - are the only countries in South East Asia that belong to the "least developed" countries in this region. I hope that RSCAO members who are from these 4 countries or others who have contacts in these 4 countries will disseminate information about this to their librarians. It is a wonderful opportunity to be exposed to libraries in the developed world.
