Society and Information Research Group

Last year, on 30 July, SIRG and TERG held an away day at the Mercure Parkside hotel. Karen Kear wrote up the day’s events in a couple of blog posts:

I was going to post the presentation slides from the day, but I forgot. Hazel reminded me yesterday, and we chatted about how now might be a good time to review those plans you made for 2010.

So, in forename order, here are the presentations [they are a mixture of ppt and pdf formats]:

Allan Jones

Chris Bissell

Clem Herman

David Chapman

Hazel Heath

Helen Donelan

Ian Martin

Karen Kear

Steve Walker

Wendy Fisher

The next SIRG reading group will take place on Wednesday 24 February @ 2pm in the David Gorham Library. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be served.

For your consideration this month:

All are welcome to the SIRG reading group, which is usually held the last Wednesday of every month. For further details, contact the group’s convenor: Ian Martin.
