To use information successfully in your work you need a good understanding of:
- the right sort of information for your particular purpose
- where is the best place to search for that sort of information
- how to search effectively so that you don’t waste time and that you find the best information
- how to decide whether a piece of information is worth using – evaluation
- how to use the information in your work
The different pages within this section will help you achieve this understanding.
