Information Skills

ILS is putting the finishing touches to its PILOT system, aimed at helping staff and researchers to develop their Information Literacy skills. Details on PILOT will appear here as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, we have provided some links to external sites offering advice around Information Literacy (locating, evaluating and using information effectively). These are intended as a reference for this subject, and more help and advice can be obtained from your Academic Liaison Librarian.
