The CILIP Information Literacy Group is hosting a one day event exploring the intersections of information literacy and scholarly communications.

This event is aimed at information literacy practitioners and library staff working in scholarly communications.

Inspired by ACRL’s 2013 report: Intersections of Scholarly Communication and Information Literacy: Creating Strategic Collaborations for a Changing Academic Environment we will seek to explore how we can move away from institutional separation of information literacy and scholarly communication matters to encourage new perspectives for our advocacy work with academics and students in these areas.

Through presentations and activities we will identify key areas where information literacy and open access intersect and how librarians might be able to leverage this support to engage key stakeholders and support both agendas.

Chaired by Dr. Jane Secker, the day will feature:

Dr. Elizabeth Gadd (Loughborough University): Research evaluation literacy: skilling up for responsible research evaluation

Padma Inala and John Hynes (University of Manchester) “Opening the door”: looking towards an ‘open’ dialogue as part of the student experience.

Claire Sewell (University of Cambridge): Which Way Now? Supporting Librarians' Skills in an Ever Changing Landscape.

Chris Morrison (University of Kent) The value of the CLA licence and open access to support teaching

Event costs cover all day participation, lunch and refreshments. We hope you can join us for an interesting day with lively discussion.
