LILAC Conference@lilacconf.bsky.social · last yr.

If you’ve been inspired by #LILAC25 & you’re planning your own project or research, or if you’re one of our amazing presenters, you should also think about writing for publication. Take a look at the @jinfolit.bsky.social for advice & information.

EC just flagged the minimum digital living standard mdls.org.uk - which seeks to move digital inclusion policy and research debates beyond simple measures of access and skills. #lilac25

Love the idea of networks of literacies - Elinor Carmi - working with the communities around you to show there are other ways of thinking - micro changes are important #lilac25

Time for the Day 3 keynote at #lilac25! Elinor Carni will be talking about "Data Citizenship: Learning to take action in a datafied society"

A plea from @jsecker.bsky.social to capture evidence of the impact of IL - this report shows this is largely coming from HE mila.org.uk/wp-content/u... #lilac25

Jane advocating for us all to get teaching qualifications if we can - and if we already do, stay in touch with our academic development colleagues, they have the power to embed things like information literacy in the training of teachers #lilac25

“Copyright represents power and people who have power” @jsecker.bsky.social #lilac25 “librarians have a crucial role in maintaining the balance in copyright law”

@jsecker.bsky.social recommending a revisit to this article Why Information Literacy Is Invisible pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/cgi/viewcont... #lilac25

@jsecker.bsky.social likening librarians to the rebel alliance #lilac25 - IL as the force that can be put to great good but also has bad uses

The essence of @jsecker.bsky.social #lilac25

The amazing Nigel Morgan has brought back the Cephalonian method to introduce @jsecker.bsky.social … did he mention he won the IL award #lilac25

Great quote from the research with PGs: "I always use Wikipedia but never cite it, because my professors don't like it! I find information from Wikipedia and attribute it to a book" #lilac25

Stephen Thornton - suggests on his journey through IL that he found himself dealing with the paradox that “The more sophisticated IL becomes as a concept the less likely it will be used in the classroom by academics” #lilac25
