The network and workshop event aims to provide for a space for all colleagues at the University of Sheffield (doctoral, postdoctoral, early career, established) to meet and hear about research from the Information School about self-tracking technologies in health and physical activty. We are delighted that Dr Pam McKinney (Information School and HELSI, Faculty of Social Sciences) and Dr Andew Cox (Information School) have agreed to speak about their research on self-tracking information literacy and information behaviour.
