2001 Honors: Graduate School of Library and Information Science

Centennial Scholar Award
Cheryl Knott Malone, professor of library and information science and of women’s studies, was named a Centennial Scholar in recognition and support of her accomplishments and promising scholarship in the library and information science field. Malone has published a number of articles recounting aspects of the history of racially segregated public libraries in the United States. Her work on the history of differential access to information and reading material has led her to begin a new research project related to the digital divide. This award was established by alumni and friends to mark the centennial of the school’s founding in 1893.
