The School of Information Sciences (SIS) congratulates alumna Elizabeth Brumfield on receiving the 2016 Routledge Distance Learning Librarianship Conference Sponsorship Award, which honors an Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) member involved in and promoting the success of distance learning in higher education.

For a nominee to be awarded the honor, they must have demonstrated achievements in supporting distance learning librarianship and services; participation in the implementation of quality distance library programs and services; successful collaboration with faculty around information literacy and library instruction; and significant research, publications, or presentations concerning distance learning librarianship.

The award is sponsored by the academic journal publisher Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, who will present Brumfield with the $1,200 conference sponsorship award and plaque at the ALA Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida later this year.
