Talk from Angela Lin - Lecturer at Information School
Sheffield's Information School has always enjoyed a prestigious reputation in China's information and library information management academic community. Information School has consistently held the top position in the field of Information and Library management since 2020. Additionally, its performance in the British Research Council’s research exercise (REF) has been consistently excellent. The Information School’s outstanding performance has established its reputation in the Chinese academic community. This talk aims to make you feel proud to be an Information School graduate by telling you about our academic collaboration with top information schools in China and the achievements of our outstanding Chinese graduates. In this talk, I will also share my experience of being a Chinese abroad and what that means to me.
