In the Service of University Libraries

IATUL invites you to attend the IATUL Seminar 2018 at the Technical University of Munich University Library in Munich, Germany from 3 – 5 December 2018.

Under the heading “Research Skills and Information Literacy in the Workplace” the event will bring together librarians and representatives from the business sector, and offer the opportunity to develop a better understanding of the differences between information literacy as part of a university study program, and information literacy in the workplace.

Information Literacy in the Workplace is a relatively new and increasingly important area of research in library science. Many libraries offer information literacy programs in order to help students to find, access and use literature for their studies and final papers. But to what extent does instruction in Information Literacy help people in their future employment?

Mark your calendars now and find more information on the event website. Registration will open 1 September 2018.
Conference languages are German and English.
