Looking for help with your research? Try the Information Literacy Resource

The Information Literacy Resource is a self study resource from the Library designed to help students with finding, evaluating and organising information for their research. Because it is a self study package, it can be taken at a pace that fits in with your lifestyle.

All students are advised to complete this self study resource before moving into their Dissertation. However, the sooner you start, the quicker you will gain the vital information skills necessary to excel in your studies.

There are seven units:

Unit 1: Defining your information need and understanding the sources available
Unit 2: Planning and constructing an effective search strategy
Unit 3: Using the Online Library resources to find information
Unit 4: Finding reliable, quality information using the Internet
Unit 5: Comparing and evaluating information from different sources
Unit 6: Finding information sources not available from the Online Library
Unit 7: Using the Harvard system to reference correctly and avoid plagiarism

You will find the resource located in the:

Embanet MBA Area - MBA Information Literacy folder

and the

Embanet MSc Area - MSc Information Literacy folder
