Good afternoon,
The Executive Committee of Grampian Information would like to invite you our
annual conference, we have prepared a programme which we feel will be very
worth your while!
Grampian Information Annual Conference
The James Hutton Institute is proud to host the 15th Annual Grampian
Information Conference in Aberdeen on Thursday 10th November 2011. The
Conference theme is "Information: Skills for Learning, Work and Life" and
will address key Information literacy initiatives in schools and
universities as well as within the workplace, the public sector and adult
learning. Presentations will touch on where libraries fit and what role they
need to play at each of these life stages.
Sign up for the Conference here!
