Information Literacy Symposium


One of the goals of the Lois Hole Campus Alberta Digital Library Information Literacy and Awareness Committee (LILAC) has been to support and build capacity for library staff to share expertise, to discover what innovative projects are being done, and to create a community of practice around information literacy that will help students and researchers across the province.

The Information Literacy Symposium was presented by the Lois Hole Campus Alberta Digital Library (LHCADL) Information Literacy and Awareness Committee on April 3, 2009, 9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
