Library Research Skills Framework

Abstract

The Library research skills framework is a tool you can use to ensure the appropriate skills are embedded throughout a programme in core and compulsory modules at the University of Southampton. Not all subjects and programmes will be the same, but this gives a general guide to work from. Research skills are essential to support students in the transition to university, to develop the skills for studying online, develop skills for finding and evaluating information, to cite and reference appropriately and learn about academic responsibility and conduct as well as develop the digital literacy skills required such as managing their digital footprint. Using the framework, the learning outcomes and the assessment within a programme and a module you can ensure that there is constructive alignment. The appropriate skills are taught at the point of need to give your students the knowledge they need to complete assignments and develop the research skills required throughout their degree and into their careers and lifelong learning. The framework along with learning outcomes will allow us to use curriculum mapping to develop the best journey for students through each programme.
