The Road to Information Literacy: Librarians as Facilitators of Learning

TampereThe Road to Information Literacy: Librarians as Facilitators of Learning was a conference that took place last week in Tampere, Finland, as a pre-conference satellite of the IFLA conference. You can see what the programme was on the website here: http://iflasatellitetampere2012.wordpress.com/programme/ (The photo of Tampere on the right is by tempuu_ on Flickr)
One of the impressive feats was to get the published proceedings produced by the time of the conference, although it is a bit pricey (Euro 99.95):
Gwyer, R., Stubbings, R, and Walton, G. (2012) The Road to Information Literacy: Librarians as facilitators of learning. The Hague: De Gruyter. IFLA Publications 157.
ISBN: 978-3-11-028100-2. The information is here: http://www.degruyter.com/view/product/181777
