LILAC conference – DCU Library on DCUBS postgraduate training

Last March I was a delegate at the LILAC annual conference on information literacy in Limerick. This international event is aimed at librarians and information professionals who teach literacy skills and want to improve the information seeking and evaluation capabilities of library users.

I presented a paper on delivering library training to postgraduates and took the example of a selection of DCUBS taught programmes – the MBAs, the MBS in Accounting and the programmes covered by the ‘Next Generation Management’ module). The idea was to examine practice and progress in delivering skills to business postgraduates, but firmly in the context of the many changes we all have to contend with. These include increased enrolments, changes in the way classes are organised and assessed, and evolution in how information resources are delivered.

You’ll find all these issues elaborated on in my presentation at this link. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions on the presentation, whether relating to your programme or not. Or indeed if you have any broader queries on information literacy at DCU Library!
