EBSCO supports libraries, students and the wider academic community through access to online journal, magazine and eBook content. Our recently launched UK & Ireland Points of View Reference Centre is one example of a service we developed to help students appreciate multiple sides of an issue. As a tool to develop student’s Information Literacy, this database provides rich content that can help users assess and develop persuasive arguments, better understand controversial issues and develop analytical thinking skills. We want to enhance the students’ ability to read critically, develop their own perspectives, and write or debate an effective argument on a topic.

The UCL Department of Information Studies is celebrating 100 years since our foundation as the first British School of Librarianship! Throughout the decades, we have offered professionally grounded education that brings together a unique portfolio of programmes in library and information studies, information science, archives and records management, publishing and digital humanities.
Our most recent focus has been the development of an MA and PhD programme that offer the opportunity to specialise in information literacy. We are one of the few British library schools to offer a standalone information literacy module, and we offer information literacy focused placements and professional development events in conjunction with local practitioners. The programme also offers the opportunity to study with research staff who are world leaders in the field of information literacy research. Professor Annemaree Lloyd has irrevocably shaped the state of workplace, health and community information literacy scholarship; Dr Alison Hicks continues to lead research into academic and critical information literacy as well as serving as the current editor of the Journal of Information Literacy, while Dr Charles Inskip has made a number of contributions to workplace and employability scholarship. We welcome enquiries from MA, PGDip and PhD students looking to build and extend their engagement with information literacy research and practice.
