Information Matters – Library and Information Studies at the University of Brighton

I’m looking forward to going to the LILAC Conference in Cardiff in just over a week’s time where  I’m presenting at one of the parallel sessions on the Tuesday afternoon – 31st March at  3.30pm.  I’ll be reporting back from our Net.Weight project, which is a study on the role that ICTs might play in supporting people who are trying to manage their weight.  I’m looking specifically at the information literacy angle.  Hope to see you there!

Flis enjoying the moment

It was a great thrill last night to be at Flis Henwood’s inaugural lecture.  Flis is Professor of Social Informatics and she used her lecture last night to tell the story of her own academic journey and how her various research interests have come together around the concept of e-health.  Her lecture was challenging and entertaining and the whole evening was a great tribute to her significant achievements.  All of us who teach on the library and information courses were there to join in the celebrations, along with other colleagues, family and friends.
