LOL! Now you incited me to pull out my style guide and research this on a Friday night!

I wouldn't expect to see info. or info in a formal paper. I'd tell the student to write out information. Since I used info., I was compelled to research my possible error.

From the Chicago Manual of Style:

Finally, an abbreviation ending with a period that is immediately followed by a question mark or exclamation point requires both marks (Q.E.D.!).

Now I would like to find a definite resource on the info./info choice. I couldn't find anything in the style guides or on the internet. I've always used info. in informal writing and e-mails. I'm thinking that could go either way.
