I also\u00a0met Miggie Picton who is on the LIRG committee\u00a0with me and who presented in the afternoon. I heard Professor Jean McNiff present for the first time and I was very impressed with her style which was very engaging using a flip-chart and her drawing skills to clearly outline the theory of action research. I\u00a0caught up with Sheila Corrall from University of Sheffield who gave a presentation on the research activity being undertaken by students. Sheila also mentioned an award to encourage library and information practitioners in the university, college and research sector who are at the start of their professional careers or who have not previously published a substantial contribution to the professional literature to write an article for publication. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cilip.org.uk\/get-involved\/special-interest-groups\/ucr\/awards\/Pages\/sheila-corrall-publication-award.aspx\"><strong>see here<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A &#8216;key takeaway&#8217; for me from this event was the level of involvement the York St John&#8217;s library staff have in supporting research and in undetaking their own research &#8211; something I shall be pursuing at Bradford College.<\/p>\n<p>Hazel Hall has posted a review of the day to the LIS Research Coalition web site.
