Information Literacy in a researcher’s learning life: the seven ages of research

The article on which our conference presentations at the SCONUL/CONUL seminar in January and LILAC in March were based has now been published in the New Review of Information Networking 2007, 13:2 81-99.(Bent, Gannon-Leary & Webb)

The seven ages model categorises a researcher’s learning life into a series of discrete stages and explores the learning needs relevant to each “age”. We used some of the data from our book on research support to look at how researchers view themselves, the research process and their relationships with information and the library.
