Tony Kent Strix award

Tony Kent Strix award

The Strix award is an annual award for outstanding contributions to the field of information retrieval.

The award has been presented since 1998 in memory of Dr Tony Kent, a past Fellow of the Institute of Information Scientists (IIS), who died in 1997. The award is presented by UKeiG, the UK eInformation Group, a UK based professional body for users and developers of electronic information resources.

Tony Kent made a major contribution to the development of information science and information services both in the UK and internationally, particularly in the field of chemistry. The name Strix was chosen to reflect Tony's interest in ornithology, and was the name of the last and most successful information retrieval packages that he created.
