[Siguse-l] SIG USE award 2008 for Outstanding Contributions to Information Behavior

[Olof Sundin]

Hello,

 

I have the honor to announce that this year the SIG USE award for
Outstanding Contributions to Information Behavior will be given to Professor
Reijo Savolainen. Reijo Savolainen is Professor at the Department of
Information Studies, University of Tampere, Finland.

 

The purpose of this award is to promote scholars who have, over a period of
time, contributed in an outstanding way to the development of the
information behaviour research field. Reijo Savolainen has for many years
investigated information seeking and related practices, empirically as well
as theoretically. His research has furthered our understanding of
information practices and it has given the empirical field of information
seeking and use in everyday life a prominent role. Furthermore, his
phenomenological investigations have significantly contributed to the
theoretical development of the research field. 

 

Savolainen's contribution of solid and in-depth research certainly deserves
recognition. Past years' awards have been given to Brenda Dervin, Carol
Kuhlthau and Marcia Bates. The award comes with a $500 check.

 

Sincerely,

 

Olof Sundin,

SIG USE Chair 2007/2008
