Winner Description: 
Research and Instruction Librarian and Instruction Coordinator at Augustana College, for her article “Post-Facts: Information Literacy and Authority after the 2016 Election."
Winner Blurb: 

“Bluemle’s article explores the timely issue of ‘post-facts’ in today’s world and the implications for those engaged in information literacy work,” said award committee chair Jo Angela Oehrli of the University of Michigan. “More than just talking about ‘fake news,’ Bluemle traces the development of the issues that have contributed to the current climate of post-facts. The article pushes academic librarians to question their own notions of what authority is in light of these larger cultural trends.”
