11.00 SL time
**Introduction to the iSchool & Exhibition opening

* From: Sheila Yoshikawa (Sheila Webber  outside SL), Senior Lecturer in Sheffield University iSchool and Director of the Centre for Information Literacy Research

The Information School was founded in 1963, initially as the Postgraduate School of Librarianship, and later the Department of Information Studies. Last autumn we changed our name to the Information School, and also joined the iSchools organisation (http://ischools.org/), an alliance of academic departments which "are interested in the relationship between information, people and technology". iSchools is mainly in North America, and we were the first UK department to join.

Today, in Sheffield, we have been celebrating becoming an iSchool, and we wanted to extend this celebration virtaully to SL. We have just published our annual report for 2010: this 44 page publication is temporarily on the web athttp://dis.shef.ac.uk/sheila/ischool2010annualreport.pdf and you will see the wide range of activities and programmes that we are engaged with.

You can also see this on the poster exhibition that will be unveiled during this introduction. This mirrors a poster exhibition in Sheffield, and there are posters about key academic programmes and research groups. There is a separate notecard listing the posters. I will just mention that at the moment we are lacking the posters for our Chemoinformatics group. This is the leading group of its kind internationally, and I would particularly highlight the achievements of the head of this group, professor Peter Willett, who, in 2010 was the recipient of the Patterson-Crane Award of the Dayton and Columbus Chapter of the American Chemical Society and was recognised as the world‘s most cited library and information science researcher.
