An information Literacy week at Sheffield

The Information Literacy Network is an interdisciplinary special interest group created with the purpose of bringing together key stakeholders in information literacy at the University of Sheffield from the Department of Information Studies, the Library and CILASS (Centre for Inquiry-based Learning in the Arts and Social Sciences). We are hosting a series of events and activities, with input from students and the Careers Service, in week 5, 27th-31st October 2008 to celebrate the distinctive approaches to teaching and research in the field of information literacy at the University of Sheffield.

We will be offering both face-to-face and virtual discussion and development events, plus we will be taking over the Good Practice Blog (http://www.good.group.shef.ac.uk/blog/ ) for the week (and also look out for posts on this blog).
