Giancarlo has long been associated with helping the development of professional expertise in European information provision in the United Kingdom, initially by supporting the creation of the Association of European Documentation Librarians and later its transformation into the European Information Association. He was also part of early attempts to improve bibliographical control of EU documentation by the creation of an annual index to Commission documents. Giancarlo Pauhas also been largely responsible for inspiring the idea, and making manifest, the provision of European information in the UK through a network of decentralised information relays, in particular, the creation of the Public Information Relay and European Resource Centres for Colleges and Schools. Giancarlo Pau has also been responsible for many of the quality publications that have been published by the UK Representation over the years, as well as recognising early on the potential of the web for disseminating information. In 1998 Giancarlo Pau has moved to the European Commission head quarters in Brussels. Helen Greer Memorial Prize: The prize for 1997 was presented to Jitka Hradilova, the EDC Librarian at Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic. Charles University's EDC was established in 1990 and forms part of the University's European Information Centre. Jitka has been there from the start so the EDC's development is very much to her credit. In addition to serving the staff and students of the university, the EDC has a wide range of users from the fields of government, industry, financial institutions and journalism. Jitka has developed a number of databases to catalogue the collections, including articles in Czech periodicals. She is a member of the EUROVOC Users' Committee, has managed projects under the PHARE Programme and the Czech Higher Education Development Fund, established an EDC homepage and an Audiovisual Centre, from which 'Europe by Satellite' is offered. Jitka works closely with other EDCs in the Czech Republic and is the editor of an EDC newsletter Information from Europe, Series A - European Union. Jitka has acted as host for a number of EDC Librarians as part of the EDC Exchange Scheme, and has visited Cardiff and Durham as part of the same scheme. In 1993 Jitka became a member of the Team Europe panel of speakers and is the Czech Republic correspondent to the ECSA-NET - the academic network of institutions and specialists in the field of European integration. |
