Effective information skills are essential for every student if they are to succeed academically and thrive beyond their time at university. As information professionals we are well placed to equip students with the skills they need to conduct high-quality, responsible research. We can work with you to embed teaching sessions within your modules that aim to help your students develop their information and digital literacy skills.

We offer a wide range of different workshops and lectures, and we recommend a minimum of two interventions for undergraduate students and one intervention for postgraduate students.

Take a look at our workshop menu for an overview of the topics we offer, and can also find supporting online resources we have created that can be embedded within Moodle, or shared directly with your students. If you have any questions about our teaching offer, please do get in touch with your Academic Liaison Librarian .

Supporting our students’ development of information literacy skills can help them to make the best use of information resources in a critical and responsible way, contributing toward better assignment and degree outcomes. However, it does more than this: information literacy equips students with lifelong learning and research skills, which can benefit them in their future employment and personal lives. As an information literate graduate, our students will have the tools to recognise and solve problems, engage in deep learning, and drive forward with innovative solutions.
