Topic 1    Where do I go from here?

This section should help you to:

• maintain and develop your information management skills by sharing or communicating your knowledge and opinions;
• maintain a ‘working knowledge’ of current developments in your subject area

Now that you have worked through the whole of Safari you will be aware of the skills needed to understand, categorise, find, evaluate, organise and present information. You will also realise that as well as being useful – now and in the future – for any academic study or structured learning, these skills can be very useful in everyday life. So, the next challenge is how to maintain and develop these skills – especially when you are not actually taking courses that involve you in using those skills. You may be thinking ‘where do I go from here?’ This section is designed to answer that question.

As with the other parts of Safari there are exercises and activities to be done in the course of this section so make sure you have a pen and paper handy.

If you plan to do all the activities in this section, you might need to allow between two and two and a half hours to complete it.
