This subject introduces students to the world of information resources, exploring the nature, functions and characteristics of a range of resources and collections in diverse settings. Students develop an understanding of the application of fundamental principles and techniques for identifying, finding, retrieving and evaluating information resources for personal use and for clients. In workshop and assessment tasks, students put core principles of retrieval and information-seeking behaviours into practice. Students learn to identify information requirements (for personal and client use), select appropriate resources and evaluate collections and content.
