Interesting that this one day attendance is more expensive that the last 3 days of LILAC 2005 at Imperial College!

It is widely taught in schools, colleges and universities, and is increasingly being regarded as an important competence in business and industry. Library/information workers have a great deal to contribute in developing information literacy in their organisations, both by example, and by participating in teaching, training and resource development. This course gives both a thorough understanding of the concepts, and practical skills for developing and promoting information literacy, so that participants will be able to take the lead in this area within their organisation.
