The UKOLUG Public Sector Award
Celebrating Innovative Use of Electronic Resources in 
the Public Sector

An award of £1,000 is offered to a public sector library 
or library authority that has instigated an innovative 
use of electronic resources. The Award will be presented 
at the CILIP Gala Awards Day.

In order to find a winner, UKOLUG is asking readers to 
nominate a library or information service for this 
award. If you know of a particular worthy service 
offering electronic resources to members of the public 
please let us know by sending in a nomination. A panel 
of judges will select the most innovative, noteworthy 
and useful application.

If yours is the successful nomination, you too will 
receive a small award - a £50 Book Token.

While setting no limit on the range of uses, 
applications or installations that may be nominated, we 
offer these as examples of the kinds of activity likely 
to attract the award: 
· An innovative means of presenting or delivering 
information to a particular user group; 
· A significant electronic resource presenting an 
unusual range or type of information; or 
· An innovative electronic outreach programme to counter 
social exclusion

Nominations should take the form of a brief description 
(perhaps two A4 pages) of the resource and its intended 
users, as well as details of the location and the 
library or authority. Please try to make your 
descriptions as detailed as possible and specify the 
type and location of the resource and the target user 
group. It may help to offer some assessment of its 
success. 

Past winner:
2002   Derbyshire Libraries and Heritage Department

The Tony Kent Strix Award

The Award is given in recognition of an outstanding 
contribution to the field of information retrieval that 
meets one or more of the following criteria:

· development of, or significant improvement in, 
mechanisms for the retrieval of information, either 
generally or in a specialised field
· development of, or significant improvement in, 
accessibility 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
· a major and/or sustained contribution to the 
theoretical or experimental understanding of the 
information retrieval process
· a major contribution to fostering the education, 
training and/or general awareness of the importance and 
the technicalities of information retrieval. 

Key characteristics the judges will look for in 
nominations are innovation, initiative, originality and 
practicality. 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 previous year's Award, 
and the statuette of an Owl will be presented to the 
winner at the CILIP Gala Awards Day. 

The Strix Award is presented in memory of Dr Tony Kent, 
a past Fellow of the Institute of Information 
Scientists, who died in 1997. Tony Kent made a major 
contribution to the development of information science 
and information services both in the UK and 
internationally, particularly in the field of chemistry. 
The name Strix was chosen both to reflect Tony's 
interest in ornithology, and the name of one of the last 
and most successful information retrieval packages which 
he created.

Past winners:
2002   Mr Malcolm Jones
2001   Professor Peter Willett
2000   Dr Martin Porter
1999   Dr Donna Harman
1998   Professor Stephen Robertson
