[IRTalk] Hilton Gibson passed away

[Ilana Barling]

Dear Colleagues,
So sad to hear of the passing of Hilton. He was a dedicated and committed
member of the library profession and LIASA. I passed on so many of his
links to our academic staff and lecturers.
My deepest sympathy and condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
Warm regards
Ilana Barling and TSiBA
