Lecturer's stand (7)

I believe the answer is:

lectern

(Other definitions for lectern that I've seen before include "Church reading desk" , "something for reading" , "Support for bible in church" , "From which speaker delivers" , "Speaker's stand" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
