University of Tennessee, Knoxville, has received the 2009 ASIS&T Award

The award, from the American Society for Information Science and

individual who has made a noteworthy contribution to the field of
information science, including the expression of new ideas, the creation
of new devices, the development of better techniques and outstanding
service to the profession of information science.

frequently cited researcher in the field and ranked her first in terms
of scholarly productivity. Her research, with a strong user focus,
covers the evolution and development of databases, online systems and
searching, and, more recently, scholarly communications on a broad

Tenopir has authored five books and more than 200 journal articles and
has made presentations in more than 18 countries. She is a popular
consultant for national and international firms.
