Thomson looks for scholarship recipient

Thomson Scientific is seeking applicants from Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Africa for its annual Roger K. Summit International Scholarship.

The company will award a €5,000 scholarship to a student enrolled in an accredited library or information sciences course. The prize will be awarded at the 2007 Online Information Conference and Exhibition, to be held December 4-6, 2007, in London. The deadline for applicants is 31 October 2007.

The scholarship, one of two that Thomson awards annually, is named in honour of Dialog founder Roger K. Summit, a pioneer in developing the technology behind online information retrieval. It is awarded to graduate students enrolled in library or information science programs. A panel of information professionals selects the regional winner after reviewing academic achievement, interest in electronic information services, proficiency using Dialog online services and faculty recommendations.
