In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

Abstract

A major characteristic of our age is the exponential rise of data. Vast quantities of information in digital form are both consumed by and generated from research. The internet has made “information†accessible to those with the resources to access and use the Internet. As a consequence a new set of requirements has been generated for educational institutions to equip both their teachers and learners with the information skills to access and effectively exploit this digital environment for learning purposes and for success in employment and personal spheres. This short paper explores this new paradigm providing a review of the current landscape including examples of recent work which addresses these areas, and drawing some conclusions about current status and possible future directions.
