Your Dialog Stories
Librarians and information professionals shared their Dialog stories with us at SLA in June
Jim Tchobanoff, a Dialog user since 1976, calls Dialog a reliable, accurate tool, as well as a productivity tool. He recalls the time he was asked to conduct research for an invention a six-person team had been working on for three years so they could file their disclosure. Searching Dialog he found a patent had already been issued for similar work. This resulted in a mandate requiring library searching prior to initiating new projects.
Ulla de Stricker thanks Roger Summit for helping to start her library career and Dialog with providing the latitude and freedom she needed to do what was right for the customer.
George Plosker started as a Dialog employee in 1979. He credits Dialog for paving the way to a magical career. He recounts the relationships, the people, the content, being online and being early adapters with having made a dramatic impact on the profession.
