| This
is a computer-aided learning package designed for advanced students and staff
in business. It is intended to provide learning and support in all aspects of
your information seeking. It was constructed as part of the
GAELS project, a joint exercise in collaborative training and information provision run by
the libraries of the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde. To find out more about this
project you can visit the GAELS
Project Information pages. |
Who should use these learning materials?
These learning materials are intended for use by
post-graduate and Honours business students based at Glasgow University and Strathclyde University.
The emphasis is on finding and using information in the context
of the resources available at these universities. However, there are a number of generic
skills covered in Module 1: How do you search for information? so it is likely
that learners from other disciplines and other universities could find this module useful.
It is also likely to be of use to new members of staff or those seeking to update their information
skills.
The learning materials require that learners
undertake practical exercises using a number of external online resources. Users outside
the Universities of Strathclyde and Glasgow will not be able to access many of these
resources without the required passwords, which are only available within these
institutions. If you are using the learning materials from outside these institutions, you
may find that these services are also available locally, or that a substitute may be
arranged. |
