What does LIRG do?
LIRG aims to raise awareness of information research by:
- Increasing its profile and influencing its direction;
- Promoting the dissemination of sound research methodology and results;
- Assisting in the development of emerging researchers;

The activities of the Group are co-ordinated by an elected committee of researchers, research students, lecturers and practitioners in the library and information profession.
