Do you find it easy to find the information you need for your assignments? Do you know how to reference your work correctly? If the answer is no, then you need information literacy skills.Information literacy skills can help you find and evaluate information quickly and effectively. Developing your critical thinking skills can lead to better results.
A range of activities, for students and staff, are taking place across the University during Information Literacy Week, to raise awareness of the importance of information literacy.
Take a look at our programme at http://www.informationliteracy.salford.ac.uk/prog/ which features a number of activities taking place during the week. These include practical drop-in sessions and workshops – all designed to raise awareness of the importance of information literacy.
Please encourage your students to come along to the hands-on sessions, covering a range of topics on how to:
· find information
· get the most from SOLAR
· reference their work
· use Turnitin: the University’s e-submission tool
For most of the activities don’t require you to book – but check the programme at http://www.informationliteracy.salford.ac.uk/prog/ for details.
