The unit prepares learners for research at QUT by systematic introduction to the theories and practical application of information skills and transferability of those skills to a field of study. It will support higher degree research students to create new knowledge by engaging deeply with a breadth of information sources. Learners will acquire strategies to find, organise, analyse, and evaluate information. These information skills are essential for scholars operating in a contemporary research environment. They facilitate the capacity for critical evaluation of a field of research and enable personal information skills development during the research degree and beyond.","title-full":"IFN006 AIRS: Advanced Information Research Skills","title-short":"AIRS: Advanced Information Research Skills","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=IFN006&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=IFN006","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=IFN006"},"year":2025,"years":[2024,2025]}
