Lynn Pollack Memorial Scholarship
Lynn Pollack was a strong role model for many law librarians. She was inspirational in her dedication to her profession. She encouraged and supported her colleagues, taking an interest in their careers.
​
As a tribute to Lynn's memory the Australian Law Librarians' Association (ALLA) has established a scholarship to assist new law librarians and library technicians in their professional development. The scholarship gives a new law librarian or technician the opportunity to attend the Australian Law Librarians' Conference.

Pacific Assistance Award
In 2011 the former Pacific Scholarship became the Pacific Assistance Award.

​
Purchase textbooks for the collection and/or subscription to legal databases;
Purchase essential equipment such as a printer, digital camera, scanner and/or hard drive;
Purchase bookshelves and/or furniture; or
Invest in professional development such as improving legal research skills or gaining a librarianship qualification.
