UWE seminar

Today I was contributing to seminar at the University of the West of England (Bristol, UK) Information Literacy, reflective practice and critical thinking: how do they inter-relate? There were about 28 participants; academic staff from various Departments plus librarians. I will post my presentation (which focused on the conceptions of information literacy research) tomorrow, when I'm back in Sheffield.

It was a very interesting day, and also included a session from Ursula Lucas (a Professor in the Business School) "Case study: developing students as critical consumers of business information: a reflective practice framework." This provided the theoretical background for, and a practical description of, a module called "Accounting in context." There is some information about this at http://www.uwe.ac.uk/bbs/research/drc/index.shtml.
