This 5-credit module for PhD and MRes students runs across three days on Monday 11th - Wednesday 13th November 2024.

Students from all disciplines are invited to register for the module.

The module goal is to provide postgraduate students with an introduction to Information Literacy and its application to research; to enable students to develop appropriate skillsets and mindsets for interacting with information in a research context, enhancing the quality of their research outputs and expanding their career opportunities in an evolving information landscape (see Book of Modules).

The module will be delivered in-person across all three days, with two sessions per day. Sessions will take place in the Boole Library. The full timetable of sessions and venues for the module will be available via Canvas before the module begins.
