In response to a number of requests from Faculty staff and postgraduate students the Library will be offering demonstrations and training sessions in the use of Endnote. Contact your Liaison Librarian for further information. RMIT has a site licence for student and staff use of Endnote on and off campus. You can download it from the ITS website. It is a resource for academic and teaching staff as well as Library staff providing access to national standards, handy hints and Library contacts with expertise in information literacy.
Information literacy forms the basis for lifelong learning.
It is a set of abilities that support independence in the practices of identifying, accessing, supporting, evaluating, organising and communicating information. It is relevant to all disciplines, learning environments and levels of education. An information literate person can recognise when information is needed and is able to locate, evaluate and use effectively the required information. There is a clear relationship between RMIT s graduate capabilities and information literacy, in particular the knowledge capability. These Standards can be used to define the capabilities of an information literate graduate and the outcomes associated with each Standard can form the basis for developing assessment activities.
