Information Literacy Workshop 2026: Research Smart, Research Right

On 2 September 2026, the KIC Library successfully conducted an Information Literacy Workshop at the KIC Auditorium, bringing together 33 students from the Diploma Programme and TVET School.

The workshop was all about helping students become smarter, more confident, and responsible users of information.

Students learnt how to:
🔎 Understand and analyse assignment questions
🔑 Develop effective keywords and search strategies.
📖 Find academic sources using Google Scholar and library databases
✅ Evaluate information using the CRAAP Method.
✍️ Use in-text citations and prepare references using APA 7th Edition.
📝 Identify useful evidence from academic articles.

Each student also received a research template to help guide them through the research process from identifying information needs to finding, evaluating, and referencing reliable sources.

A big thank you to all the students for their active participation and enthusiasm! 🌟

Let’s keep searching smarter, thinking critically, and using information responsibly! 📚✨
