Information literacy support
Information literacy combines skills and competencies that enable you to identify, locate, evaluate, and use information effectively. Our Libraries and Learning Resources (LLR) will help you to:
- develop relevant information literacy skills
- become independent learners.
Every time you research information or use a reference in an assignment, you are developing your information literacy skills.
