John C. Bertot, Ph.D., Associate Professor at the FSU School of Information Studies, Associate Director of the Information Use Management and Policy Institute, and co-editor of Library Quarterly, was one of five recipients of the FSU Council on Research and Creativity’s Developing Scholar Award for 2004. The Developing Scholar Award is based on evidence of a clearly established program of research and creativity lasting over a number of years – a record of superior research and creativity that has begun external recognition. The award was created to identify FSU’s future academic leaders at an early mid-point in their careers and carries a one-time stipend of $6,000, used to promote the awardee’s program of research and creativity during the academic year following the award.
