European Conference on Information Literacy #ecil2018

Hi, I’m in Oulu in Finland for the annual European Conference on Information Literacy which starts tomorrow, Monday 24th September and lasts for 4 packed days. I’ll be live-blogging for the IL Weblog, trying to cover as much of the conference as I can. Sheila and I have a paper tomorrow morning “The information world of non-resident informal carers” where I’ll be presenting some data from a recent research project that aimed to discover the particular information problems encountered by family carers who don’t live with the person they care for. The slides are available here. The full conference programme is available here. I will also be presenting on Thursday about a further research project that I am undertaking with Andrew Cox and Laura Sbaffi from the information School, looking at the information literacy of diet and fitness tracking behaviours of members of the park run organisation, and slides for this presentation are also available here.  I hope you enjoy the postings!
