Researcher practitioner event postponed

The Library and Information Research Group has made the difficult decision to cancel its forthcoming event ‘Being a LIS Researcher Practitioner’ which was due to be held at Goldsmiths, University of London on Friday march 27th.

In recent days it has become clearer that hosting events in the coming weeks could potentially put the health and well-being of attendees at risk. We believe this is therefore an appropriate decision to take.

Apologies for the inconvenience caused by this decision, but we hope to run the event at a later date.

Kind regards,

The Library and Information Research Group Committee
