The 2013 UKeiG Jason Farradane Award is to be presented to the 2013 winner, Professor Charles Oppenheim, during Internet Librarian International 2013. Professor Oppenheim has been involved in, and published widely on, legal issues in the library and information profession, particularly copyright, data protection and freedom of information. He has a particular interest in legal issues in cloud computing and has recently published The No-Nonsense Guide to Legal Issues in Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing. As well as this and other books, Charles has published more than 400 scholarly journal articles in the field of library and information management. The nomination says "Charles is surely one of the outstanding UK figures in information science" - he has moved between work in the information industry and academia and has been professor in two departments of information science and a research centre. The presentation will be made at Internet Librarian International 2013 <http://tracking.onlineinc.com/sponsorhit.aspx?sponsorship_id=28018> at the Olympia Conference Centre during the Keynote paper on Wednesday 16th October.
