Research
ilit.org Information Literacy Gateway
The project explored the impact of web-based Information Literacy resources designed to address the information needs of undergraduate students completing the dissertation module as part a the BSc in Information Management delivered at the London Metropolitan University. This examination has resulted in detailed profiles of individual students' Information Literacy skills and the creation of an information literacy website. The research was funded by LTSN ICS and run from January to August 2003 (now renamed HEA-ICS). The ilit.org website has been developed further to support provision of research skills modules at postgraduate level within the school of Information Management.
Information Literacy’s web-based provision for Social Work students
The research aimed to develop basic research skills and evaluate the effectiveness of the online resources developed to support IL provision. The project was funded by SWAPltsn and covered the period January 2003 to March 2004. Findings were presented at the seminar sponsored by SWAPltsn:
Research Skills making effective use of ICT- London Metropolitan University, 3 March 2004.
Explanatory and Instructional Graphics Visual Information Literacy (EIGVIL)
The seminar was sponsored by LTSN-ICS and hosted by London Metropolitan University on September 8, 2003. This event aimed to devise a model of visual and graphical information skills that reflects the multi-faceted nature of information within the paradigm of information consumers and providers. As a result of the seminar, a network between academics operating within the Library and Information Science disciplines and practicing Information Designers has been established in order to identify the visual competences that Information Professionals need to enhance their role as information providers.
