Shelagh K. Genuis, a recent graduate of the doctoral program at the 
University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada, whose dissertation committee was 
chaired by Dr. Heidi Julien, now Director of SLIS at The University of 
Alabama, has won the prestigious 2011 ASIS&T ProQuest Doctoral 
Dissertation Award. The ProQuest award recognizes an outstanding recent 
doctoral candidate whose research contributes significantly to an 
understanding of some aspect of information science, and the prize is 
intended to encourage new Ph.D.s to participate in professional 
associations, through provision of travel assistance to the ASIS&T 
conference and an opportunity for the awardee to present the winning 
research. Dr. Genuis was chosen from 20 finalists, and her dissertation is 
titled "Making sense of evolving health information: Navigating 
uncertainty in everyday life."  Look for her at this year's ASIS&T 
conference in New Orleans in October, 2011.
