Information Literacy  According to the University of Auckland's Information Literacy policy, ‘information literacy’ is the set of intellectual capabilities, knowledge and skills needed to use information and the ability to continue to develop these skills into the future. The study of history is a particularly good environment in which to enhance students’ information literacy capabilities. History 254/354 seeks to develop these skills by helping students undertake the following specific tasks:
- Analyse and discuss a range of primary sources
- Engage with and critically evaluate relevant academic literature
- Undertake library research with the aim of organising and writing academic assignments that include coherent arguments and supporting evidence
- Become familiar with information technology as a tool for academic research
