Dear all and with apologies for cross posting, The latest issue of Library and Information Research Vol. 37, No 114 (2013) http://www.lirgjournal.org.uk/lir/ojs/index.php/lir/issue/view/65 is now available. It is on the theme of ‘Information Literacy and Lifelong Learning’ and is guest edited by Dr John Crawford. It addresses issues predominantly outside the education sector and includes articles on information skills training in public libraries, a report on the third phase of the Welsh Information Literacy Project which includes public library training issues, two reports from further and higher education focusing on information literacy and skills development and the information usage activities of adult returners to higher education. ‘BILI: Building Information Literacy in Ireland’ describes proposals for developing IL polices in Ireland which can be compared with developments in Wales and Scotland. The issue concludes with two workplace studies, an issue which currently receives insufficient attention. Contents are below. Many thanks to Angharad Roberts, the journal editor and the editorial team for their work in preparing the issue for publication.
