Ingrid Thomson of UCT, LIASA Western Cape Branch Librarian of the Year for 2010
Posted by Celia Walter | 19 Aug, 2010Congratulations and well deserved, Ingrid!
The winner of the LIASA Western Cape Branch Librarian of the Year for 2010 is Ingrid Thomson of UCT. Through her dedication not only to the Association and the WCHELIG Interest Group, but to the library profession as a whole, Ingrid continues to find new ways to inform, educate and broaden the interests and intellectual stimulation of her colleagues throughout South Africa. A former LIASA: WC Branch PRO and Treasurer, Ingrid has also served as National PRO for LIASA. She continues to edit the People column in the LIASA-in-Touch magazine amongst her many other roles of blogger, teacher and role model. Her passion for Web 2.0 technologies has made her a fore-runner in the use of many of the social media tools that we now see as a necessity to communication with our members.
Ingrid will now be competing in the National LIASA Librarian of the Year Award, the winner of which will be announced at the Gala Dinner during Conference 2010.
