The LILAC conference held at the University of Sheffield this year, from 30 March to 1 April,
was an enjoyable and energising experience. There were more than 50 sessions on current
information literacy research and practice, highlighting fresh perspectives on topics such as
embedded information literacy teaching, workshops on professional practice and sessions
on GenAI and information literacy linked to a range of learning and teaching themes.
We couldn’t run the conference without our volunteers, and this includes our team of
reviewers. LILAC’s reviewers are a group of information literacy professionals who review
the anonymised presentation submissions sent to them. Their work is crucial, and adds a
range of individual perspectives and experiences to LILAC which helps decide who will
present at each conference. Reviewers come from a range of sectors, professions and roles.
It’s important to recognise that our reviewers, past and present, are volunteers, and the
LILAC committee would like to thank them for their time and for bringing their interest and
knowledge of information literacy to the LILAC conference.
