- Abstract
- The electronic library and the Internet intensifies the need for information skills in academic research, in 3 categories: judgement; knowledge and operation of resources; and linguistic and logical skills. Outlines strategies for training within the doctoral supervision process. Qualitative data from the Information Access project on current practice among supervisors, suggest that successful training of researchers requires: recognition of the size of the problem; adoption of a different model of library skills training; recognition of the developmental nature of training needs; recognition of the important role research supervisors play alongside librarians; explicit discussion of metacognitive aspects of these skills; formulation of training policy by national and local institutions; training and support for supervisors themselves; and the nees for academics and students to take resposibility for their learning in this area
