Belatedly, I congratulate Karen Blakeman as the worthy winner of the UK electronic information Group (UKeiG)'s international Jason Farradane Award for 2024 (it was announced in December).
The Jason Farradane Award is presented in recognition of an outstanding, creative and enterprising contribution to the library, information and knowledge profession. The award is named for Dr Jason Farradane, who was a key founding figure in Information Science in the United Kingdom. Karen's nominators said that "Her influence through consultancy and professional development has been
invaluable in the rapidly changing world of information retrieval and
research skills. She is indisputably a distinguished, influential and
inspirational figure, facilitating the effective use of information
resources in a digital world." There is more information at https://www.cilip.org.uk/members/group_content_view.asp?group=201314&id=752351
