Information Literacy Research Seminar 2010
A research seminar on information literacies took place on the 23rd of June 2010 within the framework of the CoLIS conference. Issues concerning information literacies (and other related literacies such as media literacies, digital literacies etc) had attracted increased attention among researchers during the last decades. The Information Literacy Research Seminar 2010 aimed to bring together junior and senior researchers in the field in order to discuss current and future research. The seminar created opportunities to examine information literacy research, both theoretically, methodologically and empirically, as seen from a broad and inclusive perspective. The aim was to strengthen collaboration in information literacy research and to identify and formulate important future research tasks.
Summaries of papers and discussions, and comments on them, will be posted on the Information Literacy Research blog, see here and here.

Doctoral Forum
We invited doctoral students to a Doctoral Forum held in connection to the main conference of CoLIS 7. Doctoral students were given the opportunity to share their work-in-progress with invited senior researchers and with the other student participants in an open and supportive atmosphere.
Objectives
The Doctoral Forum was intended to provide a setting for discussion of doctoral students’ research projects with invited senior researchers and other participating students in a constructive spirit and taking into consideration the diversity of contemporary LIS. A further objective was to act as a platform initiating international contacts with other doctoral students and researchers and enabling future collaboration.
