IL in law firms

I never got round to writing anything about the very interesting presentation given by Carmel O'Sullivan at the ANZIIL Symposium last month (on the left of the photo, with Valma Datson on the right). Carmel is now at Edith Cowan University, Perth, Australia, but she used to lead information literacy training at an Australian law firm. She talked about her strategy, in particular the challenges presented by new graduate lawyers, and reflected on what IL education was needed in the law firm and at university to prepare the graduates for work. Fortunately, her conference paper (not just a ppt!) is up on the ANZIIL site, together with a couple more presentations:

O'Sullivan, C. (2006) "Is information literacy a basis for lifelong learning? Observations from the workplace." ANZIIL Symposium series 6: Transitions: held 5th and 6th July 2006 at the Southbank Institute, Brisbane. Brisbane: ANZIIL http://www.anziil.org/events_meetings/

An article by her that gets cited quite a lot is: O'Sullivan, C. "Is information literacy relevant in the real world?" Reference Services Review, 30(1) 2002, p7-14
