  • 1.  Free Virtual Panel - Information as a Discipline: what's the difference?

    Posted Oct 08, 2024 09:11 PM

    Please join us for Information as a Discipline: what's the difference? a free virtual panel discussion.

     

    Date: October 24, 2024
    Time: 11:00 am US Eastern; 10:00 am US Central; 3:00 pm UK

     

    This panel will explore the benefits of identifying Information literacy (IL) as a discipline. The panelists are members of an international group (ILIAD: Information Literacy is a Discipline). Each panel member will identify a long-term change that could happen if IL was more widely recognized as a discipline and note what conditions need to be in place for this change to occur. There will then be time for participants to discuss what IL as a discipline entails and changes that its recognition may inspire.

    The event registration page says it is sold out. Will another session be held, the number of participants be raised, or a recording be available for those who cannot attend?

    Thanks,
