The Institute for Information Literacy at Purdue (IILP) invites nominations for its 2022 information literacy research awards. These awards celebrate and highlight the positive difference information literacy researchers make in addressing the significant, unwieldy information challenges our society faces today, ranging from misinformation campaigns designed to confuse and disempower, to a lack of access to credible information that can have life-altering, disproportionate effects on different communities.
Graduate Student Information Literacy Research Award
Graduate student researchers (currently enrolled) engaged in research or scholarship examining the role of information literacy in navigating information challenges are eligible for nomination. For more information on the nomination and selection process, please see the graduate research award call out.
Best Publication Award for Information Literacy Research
Researchers who published (or will publish) research during 2022 proposing ways information literacy can help us navigate current information challenges are eligible for nomination. For more information on the nomination and selection process, please see the best publication award callout.
Each award recipient will receive a $1000 to extend their research and be featured as an invited speaker at IILP's ID:EALS symposium (April 12-13, 2023).
The deadline for nominations for both awards is December 31, 2022.
