Every year UKeiG makes two important presentations:
The UKeiG Tony Kent Strix Award and The UKeiG Jason Farradane Award.
UKeiG is now seeking nominations for both awards.
The UKeiG Tony Kent Strix Award is sponsored by ASLIB: The Association
for Information Management, and given in recognition of an outstanding
practical innovation or achievement in the field of information
retrieval. This could take the form of an application or service, or an
overall appreciation of past achievements from which significant
advances have emanated. The Award is open to individuals or groups from
anywhere in the world.
The deadline for nominations is Friday 24th August 2012.
Nominations should be for achievement that meets one or more of the
following criteria:
* a major and/or sustained contribution to the theoretical or
experimental understanding of the information retrieval process;
* development of, or significant improvement in, mechanisms, a product
or service for the retrieval of information, either generally or in a
specialised field;
* development of, or significant improvement in, easy access to an
information service;
* a sustained contribution over a period of years to the field of
information retrieval; for example, by running an information service or
by contributing at national or international level to organisations
active in the field.

Secondly...
The UKeiG Jason Farradane Award is made to an individual or a group of
people in recognition of outstanding work in the information profession.
The Award embraces activities in the information profession in its
widest sense, while the Group's other award, the UKeiG Tony Kent Strix
Award focuses more narrowly on information retrieval.
Nominations should reach the judges by Friday October 5th 2012.
The Award is given in recognition of an outstanding contribution to the
information profession, by meeting one or more of the following
criteria:
* raising the profile of the information profession within an
organisation or field of endeavour in a way which has become an exemplar
to others;
* raising the awareness of the value of information in the workplace;
* demonstrating excellence in education and teaching in information
science;
* a major contribution to the theory and practice of information
science or information management.
