Going to LOEX in May? JIL is looking for conference reporters
Are you attending LOEX in May? Home (loexconference.org)
If so,
please consider submitting a conference report to the Journal of Information
Literacy (JIL). JIL
publishes conference reports for many different IL conferences, and LOEX is
always an important one to cover! Conference reports for JIL are about the
length of a blog post -- i.e., 750-1500 words -- and contain thoughts and
reflections from attendees about the main points and themes of the conference. It’s
up to you to decide what you focus on, and you could choose to focus on just
one strand or theme of the conference if you wished.
More information about conference
reports is available here Submissions | Journal of Information Literacy
(lboro.ac.uk), and you can get a flavour for past conference
updates by searching, e.g., for LOEX or 'LILAC' within JIL Search | Journal of Information Literacy
(lboro.ac.uk). Conference reports are a great way to do a bit of
writing about IL and see your name in print!
Conference reports are due two months after the
conference itself to allow time for copy editing and the journal production
process.
If you'd like to write a conference
update for LOEX -- or any other IL conference -- please send queries and
expressions of interest to JIL's email address jinfolit@gmail.com by March 31st.
Many thanks,
Meg (JIL Managing Editor)
