LILAC My Reflections

How did I find LILAC 2008? The whole event was expertly organised by the CGD LILAC committee members - thank you to them! There was a number of very inspiring and interesting presentations--yet my own feeling is that the overwhelming focus of the conference was Information Literacy in an academic context. This reflects the wider context of current information literacy theory: a status quo, I hope to challenge.

LILAC 2008 - First Day

This was my first LILAC (Librarians Information Literacy), a conference that I have wanted to attend for a few years now.  This year the conference was held in Liverpool, a city I had not really visited.  For me, the conferences gave me an opportunity to present a summary of my research.   As this was my first conference, I felt very much like the new kid in town, although the first evening presented a excellent opportunity for networking.

My one learning curve, make sure that you book a hotel near to the conference venue.  In an attempt to save money, my hotel, although very nice in a heap 'travel lodge' type of way was some way from all the action of the conference.  Oh well, lets put it down to experience!
