Leeds Metropolitan University chose the theme
of learner support and centred our objectives
around information literacy skills. This is
because of our recent work in developing an
Information Literacy Framework which
articulates what information literacy is and how
we can integrate it into students' learning. It
was developed by Learning Advisers in
response to the growth in the amount and
availability of information, the need for
information literacy in engaging effectively in
independent learning and the great diversity in
the level of students' information skills.
