Infobase will shortly be announcing an exciting new UK schools initiative and link-up with the innovative team at JCS Online Resources. In advance of that announcement we wanted to make our newsletter readers aware of a truly exciting educational literacy and learning conference organised and hosted by the JCS team at Aston University in Birmingham UK on November 30th 2018.

This inaugural JCS conference is entitled ‘From Digital Literacy to Independent Learning: challenges and opportunities for librarians and teachers’. The programme seeks to explore the crucial role played by educators and librarians in guiding and supporting students to think critically about digital technologies and the opportunities and risks they present. In doing so it brings together a inspiring collection of experts in the field of digital literacy, librarians, school and college leaders, and providers of authoritative sources to share their knowledge and good practice in supporting the challenges and opportunities for librarians and teachers in an increasingly complex and digitised world. We invite you to read more about the conference through this link which includes full event, programme and speaker details as well as booking information.

The Infobase Europe team will be attending and we look forward to meeting you there
