PLUS + E: help and support with every step of your research!

These pages will help you to develop your Information Literacy skills: the skills you need to find and make effective use of information.

These are skills you need to meet a range of outcomes across your learning.

These are the skills you should use when you need to find information or research a topic.

School libraries, and librarians, play a big part in helping young people to develop these skills.

These pages encourage you to develop the skills you need by completing each step in a logical way.

 Follow these steps for successful research!

   Plan – do you understand your research task and exactly what you need to do?     

                                                                                                                  

 

Locate  resources which will give the right information   

  Use  this information to develop understanding  of  the topic  

 then

         Evaluate  their learning,  thinking about the skills they are confident with, and those that they need to develop  further
