Using a Definition of Information Literacy to Engage Academics and Students: A UK Perspective
Following the publication of an updated definition of information literacy in 2018 by CILIP, the United Kingdom's library and information association, librarians at Royal Holloway, University of London, began to use the definition with both students and staff. Their aim was to foster a better understanding of information literacy and how it can benefit learners throughout their studies and beyond. The students were first-year English undergraduates, and the staff were working toward a postgraduate teaching certificate. Discussions during and after the sessions indicated that the updated definition was effective in introducing the concept of information literacy to both students and staff, highlighting its importance in academia and the wider world.

Using Mentimeter to gauge and engage science students in information skills sessions
The perennial problem of gathering student feedback and assessing student learning lurk in every librarian’s information literacy (IL) programme. A number of interactive polling tools such as Socrative and Poll Everywhere have been used to great effect in IL sessions to gauge the students’ engagement with the session and also obtain feedback. Another tool, Mentimeter, currently being used at Royal Holloway, University of London, has not seen as much limelight as its peers in literature on polling and student engagement. Mentimeter allows you to create your own questions and lets students vote or answer questions in a variety of ways encouraging their participation in the IL session. Its functionality and ease with which it can be used and embeds into LibGuides make it a tool worth the consideration of librarians involved in delivering information skills sessions.
This digital poster will demonstrate how Mentimeter has easily been inserted into IL sessions at Royal Holloway to poll students’ current search strategies and what resources they currently use, and from this information, tailor their teaching to plug gaps in students’ search strategies and knowledge of what resources are available to them. In doing this, we have been able to illustrate to Science faculty students the value of information literacy skills. Mentimeter has been used in almost all Science training sessions for undergraduates this year so far (2016-17) as a way to inform the instructor what should be focused on.

The issue of parliamentary reform on England during the 1820s
This study is an attempt to determine how far parliamentary reform remained an important issue, and what arguments were offered for and against it, during a decade which did not produce the sort of major agitations in favour of the measure seen in 1816-19. Particular events and general trends characteristic of the decade are examined to see what effect they had on a reform debate which, though never the overriding obsession of the nation, did not disappear altogether. It is shown how the Queen Caroline affair, the largest mobilisation of anti-government opinion between the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the Reform Bill crisis, both provided a platform for reformist argument and to some extent directed attention away from purely political issues. Another section focuses on the effect of the severe agricultural distress of the early twenties on farming and landlord opinion and demonstrates that for a time at least reform was both widely discussed and widely supported in this sector of the community, in particular at the series of county meetings held in the first halves of 1821, 1822 and 1823. The attitude of the parliamentary Whig party to the issue is also examined, and their continuing difficulties over establishing a universally accepted party consensus on how, and even whether, parliamentary reform should be adopted as 'official' party policy are stressed. In a section dealing with the attitudes of the working classes and those who sought to influence them, the relationship of reform with such ideas and activities as Infidelity, Co-operation and trades unionism is looked at, and an attempt is made to gauge the extent to which Radicalism, or at least political feeling, revived during the severe slump in the textile-producing areas in 1826-7. Other important and interrelated facets of the period - the "liberalisation" of the Tory Government from 1822, the debate on Catholic Emancipation, the spread of education, the wider diffusion of general and political knowledge by mass print media expanding in size and sophistication, and the apparent increasing assertiveness of public opinion - are also dealt with, and the double-edged nature of their effect on the case for reform illustrated. The several attempts at partial representative or electoral change are described and their role in the contemporary reform debate is assessed, as are the initiatives on the closely related subjects of economical reform and retrenchment in government. The general conclusion of the study is that reform in the twenties by no means sank into oblivion. Conditions were against its assuming dominating importance, probably the most influential of those conditions being the comparative prosperity of the decade. However, several influential publicists for whom reform was "the one thing needful" continued to be active, and the mass enthusiasm of 1830-2 did not spring from nothing.<p>

Queer Time & Space in Contemporary Experimental Writing
The aim of this practice-based PhD is to develop the theory and practice of a queer poetics. In this thesis I will be looking at the work of four contemporary experimental writers: Abigail Child, Dodie Bellamy, Caroline Bergvall and kari edwards. Specifically, I will be addressing representations of time and space in contemporary queer poetic practice. Chapter One draws on recent, queer revisionings of temporality in order to examine representations of time in the work of Abigail Child and Dodie Bellamy. I will particularly be focusing on the relationship between acts of temporal disruption and queer history, arguing that modes of experimental poetic practice might lend themselves well to representations of queer temporality. In Chapter Two, I turn to the relationship between queer theory, phenomenology and experimental writing. Through close readings of Caroline Bergvall and kari edwards alongside these theoretical texts, I will propose that forms of queer space are generated by these writers. I will argue that this is achieved through an innovative approach to book and page space, and through the introduction of queer bodies into public and private hegemonic spaces. Alongside my close readings of these four writers, I will be discussing my development of a queer poetic practice in SHE!, the manuscript which accompanies this thesis. In Chapter One, I will discuss my use of collage, genre and repetition to create anachronistic and looping forms of queer time. In Chapter Two, I will discuss my use of collage to queer both the material site of the book and the textual representations of domesticity that occur in the text. Finally, I will propose that these queer tactics of writing might be linked to a wider political project of subcultural political action; that the queer ‘other’ can be seen as a model for resisting hegemonic control, and that queer subcultures can suggest alternative ways of being in the world, outside of the realms of patriarchal, capitalist and heterosexual hegemony.

The Artistic and Architectural Patronage of Angela Burdett Coutts
This thesis focuses on the life and artistic patronage of the Victorian philanthropist, Angela Burdett Coutts. The daughter of both an aristocrat and a member of the nouveau riche, Burdett Coutts was the product of both the new and old world of Victorian society and this thesis explores the ways in which Burdett Coutts fashioned an identity as a member of the aristocratic elite through her patronage of art and architecure. It explores the ways in which taste, gender and class are reflected in her collecting practice and examines her role as a patron through three case studies, as art collector, philanthropist and patron of architecture.
