My colleague Frances Ryan, along with Professor Hazel Hall, will be running a one-day research symposium on 22 June 2017. ‘Connecting people, connecting ideas‘ (CPCI) will focus on research priorities in Information Science as related to everyday life information seeking and information behaviours in online environments.
More information is on Frances’ research blog. If information science is in any way your thing, I’m sure this will be an interesting and provocative event.

My experience of CCs is mostly in Edinburgh and Fife – these LAs regularly supply their CCs with lists of planning applications, in line with CCs being statutory consultees for spatial planning.

Some work on a funding application – I’m useless at those!
Knocked together all the things supervisor and I could talk about at tomorrow’s management meeting.
Er, that’s it
