Deadline for submissions fast approaching!
TONY KENT STRIX AWARD
Nominations for the 1999 Award are now invited, and should be sent with
full supporting documentation to:
Alan Gilchrist,
Editor, Journal of Information Science,
32 Friar Road,
Brighton BN1 6NH,
U.K.
The closing date for nominations is Friday 18th June 1999.
Notes:
The Strix Award is in memory of Dr Tony Kent, a past fellow of the U.K.
Institute of Information Scientists, who died in 1997. Tony made a major
contribution to the development of information science and information
services in the U.K. and internationally, particularly in the field of
chemistry.
The Award is given to an information worker 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
overall past achievements from which significant advances have emanated.
The Award is open to individuals or groups from anywhere in the world.
Nominations will be judged by a panel of experts, including the recipient
of the 1998 Award, and the statuette of an owl will be pesented to the
winner after the Institute's AGM in September. The name Strix was chosen to
reflect both Tony's interest in ornithology, and the name of one of the
last and most successful information retrieval packages which he created.
A small booklet, containing some contributions from colleagues is available
from the Institute Office (price £4.50, profits to the Strix Award Fund):
44 - 45 Museum Street, London WC1A 1LY <[log in to unmask]>
