It is with great sadness that New Library World announces the death of Dr Linda Ashcroft, the Editor from 1993, who died suddenly in late September 2013. Dr Ashcroft worked tirelessly to ensure that the journal's reputation was maintained, developed and enhanced. She won a number of Leading Editor Awards in the Literati Network Awards for Excellence, developed contacts across the international library and information science community, and was an adviser to Emerald Group Publishing.
