Although my comment was somewhat tongue in cheek... it does raise the question of wording on the Cunningham Fellowship application form. It may be that we would prefer to give the funding to librarians from less developed countries but that does need to be made more obvious if this is what MLAICS feels?

I seem to remember similar discussions about the Sister Library initiative where I believe we used the World Bank's definition of less developed conutries as one of the criteria.

If I am correct the Leslie Morton Bursary Fund will also enable librarians from developed countries to attend conferences (and maybe visit libraries) on am annual basis

I also feel that a trip to NLM would be essential as it is probably the one library that every medical librarian from anywhere in the World has heard about?
