L to R: chapter co-authors Pete Robertson, Hazel Hall, Marina Milosheva, and Peter Cruickshank

Information literacy and the digitalisation of the workplace has recently been published by Facet. I picked up my copy of the book this morning when I was on campus for a meeting with my fellow co-authors of Chapter 6: Marina Milosheva, Pete Robertson, and Peter Cruickshank (pictured above).

Our chapter is entitled ‘Information literacy competencies for career transitions in the digital age’. It draws primarily on some of the research that PhD student Marina Milosheva has undertaken for her ESRC/Skills Development Scotland funded doctoral study on career information literacy and career decision-making, and team discussions in Marina’s supervision meetings. In it we focus on the importance of employability information literacy and career information literacy to sustainable employment in largely digitised work environments.

As well as featuring in the book, a pre-print version of the chapter is also available as a pdf from the Edinburgh Napier University repository.
