Information-handling Training for Researchers - Towards a More Cohesive Environment

The RIN is taking forward the conclusions from its 2008 report, Mind the skills gap: Information-handling training for researchers, to develop information competency among researchers. The RIN has set up a working group, comprised of representatives from organisations with an interest in improving the information-handling training environment. The group's first task was to frame a joint response to the Vitae consultation to the Researcher Development Framework , submitted in December 2009. During 2010 the group will identify examples of good practice across the UK in information-handling training.
