Information literacy skills
During your studies and in your subsequent career, you will need to develop expertise in finding, evaluating and using information effectively and ethically. That expertise is often called ‘information literacy’.
If your department does not already arrange an introductory session, or if you want extra sessions, you can contact your Subject Librarian directly to arrange one. All of the Subject Librarians and their contact details are listed by subject on the Library website, at: http://www.bris.ac.uk/library/support/subjects/.
