IL Workshop in Aberdeen

A full day workshop entitled "Information Literacy for Learning" will be held on the 12th of September 2006 in Aberdeen, Scotland.

The Information Literacy for Learning programme is not yet finalised, however the following will provide some indication of what we envisage covering in this training day.

• Do you want to explore current thinking around information literacy and learning?
• Would you benefit from discussing and sharing experiences of supporting users and learners to become information literate?
• Would you welcome the opportunity to put Information Literacy for Learning into practice?

'Information literacy is widely considered to be a vital ingredient in our information society with the challenges of information overload, access to limitless amounts of information in an array of formats, lifelong learning initiatives, enquiry-based learning, etc. But how can we actually support learners, at any and all levels, to develop effective information skills and become information literate?'

Professor Dorothy Williams, from RGU, will be there to sow some seeds on the latest thinking, issues and current debates regarding information literacy and learning.

This training workshop will be relevant mainly to librarians and information professionals working in a learning environment, e.g. school librarians, academic librarians etc, and any others who have an interest in promoting and supporting information literacy in their work environment.

Cost per trainee - 165.00 (including lunch and refreshments)
