Welcome to the Research² PhD Forum - 8 and 9 July 2010




The conference will be held in the David Collett Suite (Building no. 11, reference: DH).
If you are catching the bus from Loughborough Train Station, the stop you want is the Pilkington Library, and the conference is a short walk away.

The 1st student-led Research² PhD Forum on Research Methods in Library and Information Science is going to be held at Loughborough University, on 8th and 9th July 2010. We cordially invite all PhD students to this doctoral forum. The Forum will provide:

  • A platform for Library and Information Science PhD students from across the UK to share their research with each other.

  • Presentations focusing on research methods by PhD Students.

  • A poster session for PhD students to creatively demonstrate their research.

  • A great opportunity to meet other PhD students.

There is no participation fee to pay and scrumptious meals (lunch and a conference dinner) will be provided!
