Two Library Professionals Receive Awards at NOM '97


Miller, Kathy, Information Today


Kathy Miller is the associate editor of Information Today.

Two inspiring information professionals were recognized for their hard work and dedication at the beginning of this year's National Online Meeting. The New York Hilton was again the scene of the ceremony, which took place on the morning of May 13. The awards are both sponsored by leading library vendors. The Online Champion of the Year award is presented by Dun & Bradstreet Online Services, while the Library Technology award is presented by UMI. Both awards have been given out annually since 1990.

This year, Dun & Bradstreet Online Services presented the Online Champion of the Year award to Ulla de Stricker, president and founder of Ulla de Stricker & Associates in Toronto.

With 18 years of experience in the information industry, de Stricker has taught several industry-related courses, is a published author and a regular contributor to information industry journals, and is a frequent conference speaker who continues to motivate and inspire new information professionals, UMI said.

Prior to founding Ulla de Sticker & Associates in 1992, a consulting practice focused on electronic information product strategy, development, and marketing for the Canadian federal government as well as for professional and technical publishers, she managed Canadian operations for DIALOG and developed a major new electronic product line for Canada's premier legal tax publisher, Carswell/Thomas Professional Publishing.
