As information specialists the Library contributes to the attainment of UTAS Graduate Attributes (PDF 23.08 KB).

Information and Research Skills prepare for continuous learning in academic, professional and community life by enabling the development of skills in independent thinking and critical information use.

These learning outcomes, which underpin the UTAS Information Literacy Policy, are:

• Develop, apply and create knowledge by scoping, synthesizing and managing information (Knowledge)
  
  
• Use information tools to communicate, manage and share knowledge (Communication)
  
  
• Develop and execute effective strategies for Research (Problem solving)
  
  
• Reflect on and critically evaluate information for international and cultural context (Global perspective)
  
  
• Apply ethical and academic integrity principles to the use of information (Social responsibility)

Liaison librarians can discuss with you how Information and Research Skills development relates to the UTAS Graduate Attributes and how they can be incorporated into learning, teaching, research and professional practice
