CILIPS Discovery Day: Putting Research into Practice
Thursday, February 13, 2014 at 8:49AM I've been working with CILIP in Scotland on a new event which focuses on various research projects and look at how the results and findings can be applied by delegates in their day jobs. Covering a range of topics it will inform advocacy, good practice and improve the links between academic practice and the day to day challenges professionals face.
It showcases research carried out by the Information Science departments in 4 of Scotland’s universities (Glasgow, Napier, Strathclyde and Robert Gordon). It also looks at CILIP's new PKSB (Professional Knowledge and Skills Base) and LIRG's (Library and Information Group) activities.
For those intereted in information literacy there are a couple of information literacy research activities that may interest the community of practice. These are:
- The applicability of The SCONUL 7 Pillars Information Literacy to business environments
- Democratic engagement and young people - critical information literacy

I'm chairing the day so hope to see you there.
