There’s still time to make a nomination for the 2024 Information Literacy Award and apply for the Student Award.
Information Literacy Award
The CILIP Information Literacy Group and the Information School at the University of Sheffield are proud to offer an award for achievement in the field of information literacy (IL). The award is open to all practitioners, researchers and academics working in the IL field within the UK.
Nominations must demonstrate impact, innovation, initiative, and originality in one or more of the following areas:
- Raising the profile of IL within an organisation / community or sector
- Initiating or contributing to national, regional, or local projects / initiatives which enhance IL skills for an identified client group(s)
- Developing a digital resource (e.g., online course, service, product, or app) which develops and enhances IL skills
- Undertaking original research in the field of IL and making a significant contribution to the literature
It’s a great way to have your work recognised, both in and outside of the information literacy field, but don’t just take our word for it. Past winners recently shared their thoughts on what winning the Information Literacy Award meant to them on the ILG Blog.
Nominations may be from any sector, individuals and groups/teams can self-nominate or nominate others. Find out more on the LILAC website.

The Rowena Macrae-Gibson Student Award provides a sponsored place at LILAC for two students registered on a UK study programme.
