New Pictures from Dr. Kilgour's 90th Birthday!

CHAPEL HILL - Dr. Frederick G. Kilgour, a distinguished research professor in the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was honored with much more than a celebration upon turning 90.

Visiting representatives of OCLC Online Computer Library Center Inc. - which Kilgour served as its first and pivotal president - surprised him with a $100,000 gift to the school in his honor. Another surprise was the school's Lifetime Achievement Award for Kilgour. Both were announced at a celebration of Kilgour's birthday on Jan. 6 in Wilson Library. MORE
