The aims were<br />"To reflect on the context of the people you engage with for information literacy;<br />"To identify what you do, and do not, know about their context and their information literacy concepts and needs."<br />By the end of the day, each group produced a poster mapping out contexts and issues for information literacy.<br />We will put pictures of all six posters on the blog, but in the meantime here is a picture of one group creating their poster.Sheila Webberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09929764583069948543noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919647815950746042.post-16480528520081766262010-08-08T23:41:00.000+02:002010-08-09T01:53:49.961+02:00The event has started!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEztEsiB9bESr3MszpHm4J1K-_eoSDFbRGqFEzPg7RzfXYRkmO4oW059c08JHYXzwFkkLEyKmevCqx02oYJotzN7pnYdY-cqYRPJyYMnmT5dZkJSNr9wxMe6GfT1HXObn7pRCPxW7aqaP0/s1600/palace+from+outside.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 160px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEztEsiB9bESr3MszpHm4J1K-_eoSDFbRGqFEzPg7RzfXYRkmO4oW059c08JHYXzwFkkLEyKmevCqx02oYJotzN7pnYdY-cqYRPJyYMnmT5dZkJSNr9wxMe6GfT1HXObn7pRCPxW7aqaP0/s200/palace+from+outside.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503188538264792466" border="0" /></a>We have now had the first session of the IFLA Pre-conference satellite organised by the IFLA Information Literacy Section, which took place at the <span style="font-style: italic;">Palace</span> (pictured) in the centre of Gothenburg, Sweden. Undeterred by the rain, we assembled for an active session, reflecting on the context for information literacy, together with a pleasant dinner. There will be more posts (mostly after the event) with material from the sessions.<br />There are 40 delegates at the event, from 18 different countries! This makes it very interesting, hearing about similarities and differences in people's experiences.Sheila Webberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09929764583069948543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919647815950746042.post-88748655501978952432010-08-04T04:35:00.001+02:002010-08-04T07:44:31.424+02:00Welcome to the blogOn the left you will find links to the pages with the <a href="http://infolitsatellite.blogspot.com/p/conference-programme.html">conference programme</a> and information on <a href="http://infolitsatellite.blogspot.com/p/how-to-find-venues.html">how to find the venues</a>Sheila Webberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09929764583069948543noreply@blogger.com0
