The Coalition conference planning committee has been working hard to put together an exciting programme for the Coalition conference on Monday 28th June. Currently we are confirming the names of keynote speakers, session chairs and facilitators. Once these are fixed, we’ll update the Conference page. We are also following up some sponsorship suggestions. For example, it is hoped that we may be able to offer sponsored places at the event for LIS research students. Any further ideas for sponsorship – from individuals or organisations – are welcomed. If you plan to tweet about the conference, please use the hashtag #lisrc10.

In the meantime, we hope that you are able to keep Monday 28th June 2010 free for a stimulating day at the British Library Conference Centre in London with other members of the LIS research community.
