Nominations invited for the Tony Kent Strix Award

The UKeiG Tony Kent Strix Award is given in recognition of an
outstanding contribution to the field of information retrieval. 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:

*	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 that 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 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 statuette of
an owl will be presented to the winner during the annual Online
Information Meeting in London in late November. 

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 retrieval
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 have been:
2005   Jack Mills
2004   Professor Cornelis Joost (Keith) van Rijsbergen
2003   Dr Herbert van Sompel
2002   Malcolm Jones
