LILAC 2014 Presentation - Developing and running a National Information Literacy Community of Practice on a shoestring

Christine Irving, LILAC 2014

I attended LILAC  2014 last week.

My presentation 'Developing and running a National Information Literacy Community of Practice on a shoestring' 

The presentation looked at the achievements (including sharing practice, presentation to a Scottish Parliament Committee, and supporting a National Library/primary school project) and lessons learned from the Scottish Information Literacy project; what a community of practice is; what the online information literacy community of practice: Information Skills for a 21st century Scotland looks like and reflects on what has been achieved to date by this community of practice with no budget or funding but through the generosity of people and organisations’ time and commitment to the community; the benefits of a community of practice; what has worked and what hasn’t; lessons learned and the challenges it faces. 

The abstract is available on the LILAC 2014 programme website and I plan to write an article for the Journal of Information Literacy. 

Thanks to those that attended and contributed to the discussion.
