The CILIP Information Literacy Group is delighted to announce that the call for presentations for LILAC 2019 is now open. LILAC: the Information Literacy Conference will take place from 24th to 26th April 2019 and will be hosted by the University of Nottingham.
The LILAC committee and our local reps have been working hard to prepare what we are sure will be another inspiring and enjoyable 3 day conference. Take a look at the conference website for more information about the venue.
We welcome proposals which address information literacy from all sectors and contexts. In 2019, we invite you to present on any aspect of information literacy; there are no specific themes. We ask that your presentation makes explicit reference to your innovative practice or research in information literacy.
This year, we are also introducing a brand new format – the Micro-teach – where you can present a fifteen-minute teaching activity. Find out more about the different presentation types, plus details on how to submit your abstract,
LILAC is committed to encouraging diversity at the conference and we would specifically like to encourage proposals from members of the BAME community and other under-represented communities and sectors.
