Dialog Seeks Applicants In Europe, The Middle East & Africa For Expanded Summit Scholarship Program

London (ots)

Dialog, a Thomson (NYSE: TOC), (TSX: TOC) business
and a leading worldwide provider of online-based information
services, today announced that it is seeking applicants from Europe,
the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) for the first Roger K. Summit
Scholarship to be offered in the region.
The company said it will award a 5,000 Euros scholarship to a
graduate student from the EMEA region enrolled in an accredited
library or information sciences course.
The deadline for EMEA applicants is 18 October 2002. Applications
may be accessed at training.dialog.com/gep/scholarship.html
Dialog's scholarship program is named for Roger K. Summit, the
company's founder and a pioneer in developing online information
technology, who since 1997 has been Dialog's chairman emeritus.
The EMEA scholarship award will be presented at the Online
Information 2002 Conference and Exhibition, to be held in December
2002 at Olympia in London.
Scholarships are also being awarded this year in North America,
and in Australia/New Zealand. (In 2003, the scholarship program will
be expanded to encompass the entire Asia Pacific region.) Dialog
recently announced the winner of the North American award at the
Special Libraries Association annual conference, held this month in
Los Angeles.
"The additional scholarship awards are part of the worldwide
expansion of Dialog's Graduate Education Program for library and
information science programs," said Libby Trudell, Dialog senior vice
president of information professional market development. "The
scholarships help draw attention to the evolving mission of library
schools around the world as they prepare students for careers in
business and research, as well as in traditional library settings."
Scholarship winners are selected by information professionals and
educators based locally in each of the regions. Criteria include
academic achievement, demonstrated interest in electronic information
services, proficiency using Dialog's online services and products and
faculty recommendations.
