Who are our research students?
• Research students are no more a homogeneous group than any other group of people or students

VITAE (see http://www.vitae.ac.uk)
![Page 9: Ph d lib2015-konference-barbara-allan](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021918/58a332311a28ab9b6d8b4e89/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Researcher Development Framework (RDF)
• UK-wide framework
• Identifies knowledge, behaviour and attributes of successful researchers
• Enables self-assessment of strengths and areas for further development
![Page 10: Ph d lib2015-konference-barbara-allan](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021918/58a332311a28ab9b6d8b4e89/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Researcher Development Framework (RDF)
• Literature survey • Literature review • Empirical data
• > 100 interviews with experienced researchers • Broad consultation
• 242 sector responses • Employer validation • Advisory & Project groups
![Page 11: Ph d lib2015-konference-barbara-allan](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021918/58a332311a28ab9b6d8b4e89/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Researcher Development Framework (RDF)
![Page 12: Ph d lib2015-konference-barbara-allan](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021918/58a332311a28ab9b6d8b4e89/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Using the RDF to support research students
• Provides a framework for career development – self assessment tool
– Individual portfolio development
• Framework for researcher development training programmes
• Framework and language for different professional groups e.g. librarians, career advisors, academics

SCONUL Seven Pillars of Information Literacy
• Defines the core abilities and understanding at the heart of information literacy development
• 3 dimensional model founded on an information landscape
• A person can be developing within several pillars simultaneously and independently - in practice they are often closely linked.
For further information about the SCONUL Seven Pillars of Information Literacy visit www.sconul.ac.uk
![Page 15: Ph d lib2015-konference-barbara-allan](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021918/58a332311a28ab9b6d8b4e89/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Each pillar is further described by a series of statements relating to a set of skills/competencies and a set of attitudes/understandings and mapped against the RDF.
• Manage • Evaluate • Present • Gather • Identify • Plan • scope

A New Curriculum for Information Literacy (ANCIL)
‘Information literacy is a continuum of skills, behaviours, approaches and values that it is so deeply entwined with the use of information as to be a fundamental part of learning, scholarship and research. It is the defining characteristics of the discerning scholar, the informed and judicious citizen and the autonomous learner.’
Secker and Coonan (2012)
Secker, J. and Coonan, E. (2014) A New Curriculum for Information Literacy, http://newcurrriculum.wordpress.com/ [accessed: 5 May 2015].

The ANCIL model
• Transition from school to higher education • Becoming an independent learner • Developing academic literacies • Mapping and evaluating the information landscape • Resource discovery in your discipline • Managing information • The ethical dimension of information • Presenting and communicating knowledge • Synthesising information and creating new knowledge • The social dimension of knowledge.

Use of social media by researchers
1. Develop a social presence and professional profile
2. Document authoring, exchange and storage
3. Identify new ideas and contacts
4. Used for discussions – Formal e.g. supervision sessions
– Informal e.g. with peers and supervisors
5. Keeping informed – Follow experienced researchers
– Follow conferences and workshops
6. Expand professional network
