A provocative discussion by members of FOIL (Forum on Information Literacy), to celebrate <a href="https://en.unesco.org/commemorations/globalmilweek" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Global Media and Information Literacy Week</a>. It will be of interest to researchers, practitioners and students who are engaged with Information Literacy, and also to people who are concerned about Information Literacy&#x27;s future - or just want to find out more about it. FOIL is a collaboration of UK-based academic researchers who are active in the field of information literacy research. Their collective aim is to discuss and challenge ideas, and engage in critical reflection and enquiry about the practices of information literacy. In this free webinar, panellists will address the questions: (1) What has been the UK narrative about Information Literacy? and (2) What will be the UK narrative about Information Literacy? They will draw on their varied experiences, inside and outside the UK, to reflect on how Information Literacy has (and hasn&#x27;t) developed, and where it should go in the future. The webinar is open to all - come along and see whether you agree or disagree with their views, and join the debate! A recording will be made available after the event.After registration, you will receive a link to join the Zoom session.Panellists:Dr Alison Hicks, Information Studies, Department of Information Studies, University College London https://www.ucl.ac.uk/information-studies/alison-hicksDr Charlie Inskip, Information Studies, Department of Information Studies, University College London https://www.ucl.ac.uk/information-studies/charlie-inskip-0Bill Johnston, School of Psychological Sciences &amp; Health, University of StrathclydeProfessor Annemaree Lloyd, Department of Information Studies, University College London https://www.ucl.ac.uk/information-studies/annemaree-lloydDr Pamela McKinney, Information School, University of Sheffield https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/is/people/academic/pam-mckinneyDr Geoff Walton, Dept of Languages Information &amp; Communications, Manchester Metropolitan University https://www.mmu.ac.uk/infocomms/staff/profile/index.php?id=2555Sheila Webber, Information School, University of Sheffield https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/is/people/academic/sheila-webberDr Drew Whitworth, Manchester Institute of Education, University of Manchester https://www.research.manchester.ac.uk/portal/drew.whitworth.htmlPhoto by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@austindistel?utm_source=unsplash&amp;amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;amp;utm_content=creditCopyText" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Austin Distel</a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/s/photos/information?utm_source=unsplash&amp;amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;amp;utm_content=creditCopyText" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Unsplash</a>
