Nominations invited for the Jason Farradane Award

 

The UKeiG Jason Farradane Award is offered to an individual or a group
of people in recognition of outstanding work in the field of information
science. The Award is sponsored by Sage Publications.

 

Nominations are now invited for the 2006 Award. Nominations should be
for achievement that meets 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 can or has become an
exemplar to others; 
*	raising the awareness of the value of information in the
workplace;
*	development of a significant new information product or service;
*	development of a product or service that has made a significant
impact on the availability and accessibility of information.

 

Key characteristics that the judges will look for in nominations are
innovation, initiative, originality and significance. The Award is open
to individuals or groups from anywhere in the world; however,
nominations must be made by a Member of CILIP: the Chartered Institute
for Library and Information Professionals. 

 

Nominations should take the form of a short description (no more than 3
sides of A4) of the work in question, together with full contact details
of both the nominee and the nominator. Do not forget to include any
documentation, references or URLs which may support the nomination.
Nominations should reach the judges by Friday September 15th 2006.

 

Nominations will be judged by a panel of experts, and the award will be
presented to the winner during the annual Online Information Meeting in
London in late November. 

 

Jason Farradane graduated in chemistry in 1929 at what is now Imperial
College and started work in industry as a chemist and documentalist. He
was instrumental in establishing the Institute of Information Scientists
(IIS) in 1958 and the first academic courses in information science in
1960 at the precursor of City University, where he became Director of
the Centre for Information Science in 1966. On the research side his
main contributions lay in relational analysis, which can now perhaps be
seen as providing a precursor to work in the area of A.I., and the
concept of information. He saw information science as a step towards
understanding and better organizing ourselves. The IIS first presented
the award in 1979, to Jason Farradane.

 

Previous award winners have included:

 

*	Michael Koenig
*	Bruce Royan
*	Michael Keen
*	Newcastle University Library 
*	Sandra Ward 
*	Phil Williams
*	Phil Holmes
