‘New Voices in Information Literacy Research’
On Friday the 13th of December, the ILG hosted ‘New Voices in Information Literacy Research’.
In this event we heard from Katherine, Amelia, Mairead and Veselka about their MA dissertation research conducted at UCL and City St George’s, University of London. This event allowed us to learn more about their recent projects and allowed the opportunity for new professionals in the field to share their current projects.
Unfortunately, due to an error with the recording, the recording of this session is not available to recap but if you want to revisit this session, you can review the presentations below:
- Katherine Gair (UCL): “Just get on, learn it yourself”: the enablers and barriers to developing workplace information literacy for further education librarians.
- Amelia Hare (UCL): What does it mean to be information literate for an autistic person in the academic library workplace? (You can also learn more about Amelia’s presentation through the ‘Neurodivergent Library and Information Staff Network’ event on the 20th January: https://nlisn.org/events/)
- Mairead Lane (City St George’s, University of London): To what extent should members of staff in public libraries be digitally literate?
