The draft conference programme for LILAC 2026 (taking place 30 March - 1 April 2026) has been published and you can download it from https://www.lilacconference.com/lilac-2026/conference-programme-1
Also, if you want to attend, the Early Bird conference rate ends tomorrow (6 February).
My own University, Sheffield, is hosting the conference and we have a nice amount of participation on a wide variety of topics (from mushrooms to makerspaces!) from colleagues and students in my department (School of Information, Journalism and Communication), and from colleagues in the library.
Next month I will be featuring blog posts from my colleagues, to give tasters of what to expect! Our contributions will be:
- Laura Woods: “Let them be louder, I’ll just be smarter”: gendered information experiences in undergraduate engineering education
- Laura Williams: Breaking through the noise: exploring the role of social media content creators for fitness information literacies and ‘All mushrooms are edible but some only once’: rethinking information literacy in leisure contexts through hobbyist mycology
- Pam McKinney and Laura Woods: Digital literacy through arts and culture activities: supporting older adults
- Vicky Grant, Amanda Bellenger (University of Western Australia) and Mara De Brasdefer: Supercharged by AI: the power of global collaboration in facilitating critical AI literacy
- Graham Mclearney, Rosa Sadler and Vicky Grant: Making, makerspaces and the role of information literacy
- Pam McKinney, Sheila Webber, Pete Holdridge and students from our Librarianship programmes: Reflections from the next generation of IL educators
- Sheila Webber (me!): keynote talk! (current working title Reflecting on Information Literacy in a time of polycrisis and cherry blossom)
