A Star in UKOLUG
For UKOLUG, one of the highlights of the annual Online
Conference and Exhibition came, slightly mysteriously,
when one of our number was told that she really HAD to
attend the Gala Dinner!
Karen Blakeman, long-term UKOLUG member, past Chair and
current Hon Sec., was recognised as the Information
World Review Information Professional of the Year and
received her award during the Gala dinner celebrations.
She is now the proud owner of an elegant, engraved
glass objet d'art to grace her desk.
Karen's work in, and for, the information profession has
extended over many years and her name is well known. She
runs her own consultancy company, RBA Information, which
provides training and consultancy on the use of the
Internet, and on accessing and managing information
resources. In her recent role as Chair of UKOLUG, Karen
played an important role on the Group's behalf in the
run up to the merger of the then IIS and LA to form
CILIP.
The award is richly deserved. Many congratulations from
the Management Committee and UKOLUG members.
