The LIS Research Coalition is currently planning its first conference. As details are confirmed they will be added to this page.

This one day event on Monday 28th June 2010 will consider perspectives on the library and information science research landscape with reference to LIS research opportunities, the translation of research outcomes into practice, growing research capacity amongst LIS professionals, and the means of developing the future LIS research agenda in the UK. The programme will appeal to all types of LIS researchers including practitioner researchers as well as those from academia.

The conference format includes keynote presentations and break-out sessions, with further opportunities for delegates to participate actively in the discussions on the day. We are pleased that Dr Charles Oppenheim, Emeritus Professor of Information Science at Loughborough University, has agreed to give an invited keynote presentation at the conference. Other confirmed contributors on the day include: Dr Michael Jubb, Director of the Research Information Network (RIN); Ailbhe McNabola, Head of Research and Evidence, the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA); Dr Anne Brice, Associate Director of the NHS National Knowledge Service; and Melanie Goody, Associate Consultant, TFPL.

The conference will be held at the British Library Conference Centre, London.
