    The volume of recorded information increases exponentially every year. Are you confident that you have the necessary skills to locate the information that you need for your research?

    The UQ Library has prepared a series of information skills audits for research higher degree students. These are quick guides to useful techniques for finding information. They should get you thinking about information resources that you may have overlooked, and they may suggest ways of improving your information-seeking skills.

    If you would like more guidance on any of these issues, contact the librarian responsible for rersearch information support for your school. We strongly recommend that all new research postgraduates make an appointment to discuss their information needs.
