Improve your searching skills

Searching and finding high quality information is a skill that needs constant updating. With so much information available online, how do you gain access to the resources you need? How do you do this efficiently and effectively? How do you know you can trust the source? How do you gain access to full text materials?

Information Literacy Skills modules are incorporated withing the curriculum of all UoC programmes. In addition to this, we offer workshops for a general public. Contact us for more information.
