Introduction
Taking time to reflect upon and assess your level of expertise in a range of areas, and then organising your personal development by means of a structured plan, is time well spent. Your development is under your control and our ‘Information skills for researchers’ website offers you the opportunity to gather evidence for your personal development portfolio.
Using this website to become more information literate can form a small but significant part of the total personal development of any postgraduate researcher. ‘Information skills for researchers’ is closely linked to the RCUK joint statement on skills training requirements for postgraduate researchers, where a number of the skills listed relate to information literacy.
Learning outcomes
