Customer in the Spotlight
Dialog Customer Named Federal Information Center of the Year

The Scientific and Technical Information Center (STIC) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), a Dialog customer, has been named the Federal Information Center of the Year by the Library of Congress. In addition, Darcy Bates, a STIC employee was selected as the Federal Library Technician of the Year.

The Federal Library and Information Center Committee (FLICC) of the Library of Congress, an organization of federal librarians, selected STIC from over 1,200 federal information facilities eligible to receive the award. Applicants for the information center award were evaluated on their mission effectiveness, creativity and innovation in services and customer orientation. The Library Technician Award recognizes the winner's service excellence, technical competency, flexibility in adapting work methods and ability to deal with change. The awards were presented by Librarian of Congress, Dr. James Billington, in a ceremony at the Library on March 27.

Dialog adds its congratulations! If you have received a special award, Dialog would like to feature your library or librarian as the Customer in the Spotlight in a future issue of the Chronolog. Send information about the award to: .
