research practices that depend on digital systems, for example:• use of digital content (including digitised collections of primary
and secondary material as well as open content) in teaching, learning and research
• use of virtual learning and research environments• use of emergent technologies in research contexts• open publication• the awareness of issues around content discovery, authority,
reliability, provenance, licence restrictions, adaption/repurposing and assessment of sources
Information literacy at research level– Systematically maintain in depth, up to date subject knowledge– Understand how research is generated and disseminated– Use a range of sources in different media– Search confidently across a range of media– Apply critical appraisal skills– Manage a large volume of information– Have personal criteria to filter information– Synthesise complex information– Use appropriate tools for sharing and communicating– Understand ethical and legal requirements– Construct a bibliography; referencing

3 workshop topics for discussion
Two key priorities and one question per group
Group 1
• Thinking about your particular discipline or role, in what ways do you think digital communication can help or hinder you in developing scholarly activity?
Group 2
• How could the development of digital scholarly approaches have an impact on other areas of work (eg teaching, student support, administration, management)?
Group 3
• What new skills do you think are needed by the digitally literate researcher?
