For those who are familiar with library and information science scholars, F.W. Lancaster was one of the most proliferative during 1960-1990’s  (he was the only one in ASIST history to win the best information science book award three times). He passed away unexpectedly two days ago.  His career was celebrated in a Library Trends issue:

 I was fortunate to have him as my advisor and mentor. He was a great man with kindness and a great sense of humor. I will miss him dearly.
