Moira Bent

I've not had so much access to the internet this week, so not so much blogging. I did notice, however, that Moira Bent was subject of the "campus questionnaire" feature in the Times Higher Education Supplement recently. Moira is a librarian who won a National Teaching Fellowship. The reference is:
Times Higher Education Supplement. (2006) "Eating well and speaking volumes." (1738) Times Higher Education Supplement, 14 April, 39.

Looking for some of Moira's work, there is some tantilisingly brief information about the information literacy forum at Newcastle University at http://www.ncl.ac.uk/library/infolit.php but most of it is only available to people within Newcastle Uni (the aim of the Forum "is to facilitate information literacy across the University. We hope that it will provide a focus for IL activity and result in a community of practice of everyone with an interest in this area.") She is also speaking at the Staffordshire information literacy conference on 17th May where I'm another of the speakers. (see http://www.staffs.ac.uk/infolitconf/index.php)
