The Research Information Network (RIN) has commissioned a study intended to explore the role of supervisors in developing research students’ information literacy.

You can read a description here: <www.rin.ac.uk/role-research-supervisors>.

There are two parallel surveys, one for supervisors and one for PhD students. The results and data will be published by RIN later this year.

For  supervisors:
This survey investigates the experiences of supervisors with respect to their research students’ (PhD, DPhil, etc) knowledge and skills in information handling. The survey should only take 15-25 minutes to complete.
Benefits of  completing the  survey:
