RILADS: evaluating postgraduate/research infolit training

There are a couple of just-published outcomes from the Research Information Literacy and Digital Scholarship (RILADS) project. One is a report from one strand of the project "looking at the identification and promotion of good practice in information training in UK HE [Higher Education]" (with a focus on researcher training). They developed some questions for evaluating training courses etc. and trialed the instrument in some UK universities. This also enabled them to gain insight into the type of training provided. The report is at http://rilads.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/riladsreportmay13final.pdf
As part of this, RILADS identified 15 examples of good practice in information literacy resources (for training postgraduates). These are linked from: http://rilads.wordpress.com/2013/06/10/short-list-of-good-practice-examples-of-information-literacy-delivery-in-uk-he/
Apologies for a few days away from blogging, one excuse is that the graphics card on my work computer went phut.
