Alan Bradwell’s original proposal for this conference is a useful one
“My feeling in this instance is to use such an event to find out 
information on the children/people whose information skills we are 
trying to develop. We could maybe focus on: the start and finish point 
expected to be reached by children/people in each age group; the methods 
used to get them from start to finish. Then maybe a conclusion on how 
the deliverers of one age group is able to build on the work of the 
earlier group and help prepare the ground for the next group.”


As well as the main speakers there will be a poster session where 
additional relevant projects are mounted.  For example there will be two 
describing different Cambridge projects on undergraduate information 
skills. Please contact the conference organiser if you can contribute a 
poster.
