Seminar in Sweden on workplace information literacy

On 7th April I will be giving a seminar Information literacy in the workplace with Ola Pilerot (Deputy Head Librarian at Skövde University Library) in Stockholm, Sweden. Here are the details: "Information literacy is a phenomenon that has mainly concerned the education sector, in particular higher education. Recently information literacy has been recognized as an essential competence in the workplace context. By highlighting examples from the literature and from their own experiences as educators the seminar leaders aim to present key aspects of the concept of information literacy in the workplace. By the end of the seminar the participants will have:
- learnt about some of the information habits of people at work, as discovered by research and practical examples
- examined their own information habits and roles as working people
- identified some ways in which they can develop the information literacy of their clients/users for those clients’/users’ current or future role as workers
Cost is 2 500 kr or 3 500 kr. More details for those who speak Swedish (though NB my bit of the seminar certainly won't be in Swedish) at http://www.tls.se/kurser/
