dc.description.abstractIntroduction: The Library has delivered the PG6009 module since 2008. Running twice per year for PhD and MRes students, it introduces the principles and practice of Information Literacy as applied to research. The course content was influenced by the prevailing view of IL at the time of its design: as a set of abilities requiring individuals to ‘recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information’. Redesigning the module: Students are having a major input. The evaluation process has been adapted to collect more useful feedback, enabling the team to improve the content and delivery. The team agreed to : Create a new cohesive offering with a central theme: open Research; Try new approaches and to seek input and feedback from the students ahead of BoM changes in March 2024; Teach students as a multidisciplinary group; Consider different approaches to delivery e.g. delivered over multiple weeks, and/or a fully online delivery. Feedback from the participants will be important; Incorporate more interactive elements to each unit and evaluating the response to and impact of these elements; Try out a variety of physical spaces that suit the requirements e.g. hands-on practice, discussion, interaction; Continue with a pass/fail assessment, but add formative assessments to encourage and monitor ongoing engagement. What we want you to know: PG6009 is unique in being a library-led module. It is a 5 credit module with a focus on information data literacy. We are evaluating it influenced by metaliteracy and critical information literacy, with a focus on metacognition or critical self reflection as crucial to becoming more self-directed in a rapidly changing information ecosystem.en
