It is with deep sorrow that I announce the death of Emeritus Professor Ken Bakewell. I have known Ken Bakewell over many years in many roles and have greatly valued his contribution as a member of New Library World Editorial Advisory Board. A tribute to Ken is included in this issue. LIS image has long been the subject of professional debate. However, when it comes to new/revamped library buildings recently winning many design awards - this changed image has brought accolades. One example of this is the David Wilson Library at the University of Leicester. Not only has it won the SCONUL Library Design Award, but also has gained a Customer Service Excellence Award by successfully meeting criteria on delivery, timeliness, information, professionalism and staff attitude. The article from Badovinac and Juznic focuses on LIS image, but relating to the profession from the cultural studies viewpoint. They discuss the presentation of libraries in the media and present results from research carried out in Slovenia.
