 Diane Kelly, Ph.D., assistant professor at the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has been named the American Society of Information Science & Technology’s 2009 Thomas Reuters Outstanding Information Science Teacher. 

The award, established in 1980, recognizes the teaching contribution of an information science educator. Kelly has taught at the school for five years and received its Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award in 2007.

Letters written by her peers in support of her nomination described Kelly as both “accessible to her students” and “an excellent mentor and role model for them both inside and outside the classroom.” Kelly “provides mentoring to her students that they have described as ‘over and above what professors normally provide.’”
