Yesterday in the virtual world, Second Life, Marshall Dozier and Vicki Cormie talked about some of their favourite sessions at the LILAC (UK information literacy) conference that took place 29-31 March 2010 in Limerick, Ireland.

The transcript of the text chat from the session is at http://dis.shef.ac.uk/sheila/chatlog-8-april-2010.pdf This includes text from Marshall and Vicki, and discussion from the rest of us.
