Information Literacy Practitioner of the Year award #lilac11

The winner of the UK Information Literacy Practitioner of the Year award was announced on Tuesday night at the conference dinner at the LILAC (Information Literacy) conference 18-20 April 2011 in London, UK. The winner was Duncan Chappell, Glasgow School of Art Library, in particular for his work on InfosmART (he is shown accepting the award in my rather poor photo). There is an article about this initiative here:
