Jim Hahn, orientation services librarian in the Undergraduate Library at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has been chosen as an Outstanding Paper Award Winner at the Emerald Literati Network Awards for Excellence 2010.  The award is for his article entitled “On the remediation of Wikipedia to the iPod” published in the Reference Services Review (RSR) journal.  Award-winning papers are chosen following consultation amongst the journal’s Editorial Team–many of whom are eminent academics or managers.  Hahn will receive a certificate and be honored at an upcoming conference.

Emerald is a leading international publisher of LIS and management journals.  In 1996, the company was one of the first academic and professional management publishers to digitize its entire journals collection. These awards recognize the efforts of authors and editors and celebrate the outstanding contributions many have made, not only to Emerald’s journals, but to the body of knowledge itself.

The Emerald Literati Network is a global leader in publishing research. Every year, the Emerald Literati Network invites their affiliated journal’s editorial team to nominate outstanding papers and highly commended papers.  More information about the Emerald Literati Network is located at http://info.emeraldinsight.com/authors/literati/ .
