We are just under a month away from this year’s LISDIS conference and are very excited to announce our programme of exciting and varied speakers. This year, as well as having a great selection of recent graduates, we will also have parallel sessions from Emma Coonan and Claire Sewell on continuing researching and publishing whilst in the workplace. There are still a few tickets left on Eventbrite so grab yours to join us on 5th November!
