Dialog Seeks Asian Pacific Applicants for 2004 Roger K. Summit
Scholarship
MELBOURNE, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA (10 November 2003) ^ Dialog, a Thomson
(NYSE: TOC; TSX: TOC) business and a leading worldwide provider of
online-based information services and integrated information solutions,
today said that it is seeking applicants from Asian Pacific countries for
its second Roger K. Summit Scholarship to be awarded in the region.
The company will award a scholarship of AU$5,000 (or equivalent in local
currency) to a student enrolled in an accredited library or information
sciences course in Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New
Zealand, Pakistan, Thailand, Taiwan, The Philippines, Vietnam or another
Asian Pacific country.
The deadline for applicants is Friday, 27 February 2004. Applications are
available online at www.dialog.com/home/australia/scholarship.shtml. The
winner will be announced in March 2004.
Dialog awards three Roger K. Summit Scholarships annually, one each in
North America, Europe and Middle East, and in the Asia Pacific region. A
panel of local information professionals and educators selects the
regional winners after reviewing academic achievement, interest in
electronic information services, proficiency using the online services
offered by Dialog, and faculty recommendations.
In 2003, Dialog awarded its first Asian Pacific Roger K. Summit
Scholarship to Wei Ping Yu of the University of New South Wales. That
announcement was made at the 11th Information Online Conference and
Exhibition in Sydney, organised by the Australian Library and Information
Association (ALIA).
With best wishes/regards.
Bye.
