Randomised Coffee Trials match two new professionals and offer them the chance to network, find support and discuss information literacy with a peer from beyond their immediate workplace or sector. We organise a new round on a roughly bi-annual basis and try to accommodate participants’ preferences for being matched with a colleague from a particular sector. Sign up to our mailing list if you’d like to be notified when the next Randomised Coffee Trial is taking place.
Our podcast, Chatting Info Lit, is now in it’s third year! In each episode, we interview either a new professional or someone with more experience about their route into the profession, the projects they have worked on, and how questions of information literacy impact upon their sector. Past topics have included: the history and future of information literacy, AI in the HE sector, and becoming a manager as a new professional. Don’t forget to check out the associated Chatting Info Lit Reading List!
