Marketing the Information Profession: Escaping the Echo-Chamber –
Ned Potter, LIFE-SHARE Project,
The information profession is full of forward thinking professionals sharing great ideas. But often it feels as though we only ever talk to each other, and preach to the converted – rather than targeting our marketing resources at those who are unaware of or indifferent to our services. This session will look in detail at the echo-chamber phenomenon; examples of our failure to escape it, and potential marketing strategies for the future

Active Learning Techniques for Information Literacy –
Andrew Walsh, Academic Librarian,
This session will look at how different learning techniques can be used to develop information literacy and raise awareness of different learning styles and methods of developing the content of sessions to ensure sessions achieve their outcomes
