Current Research
Mandy is currently working on her PhD. In her PhD project she is developing a model of the relationship between information literacy and learning through investigating later year undergraduates' ways of experiencing information literacy in different disciplines (music and business). She is exploring information literacy as a graduate attribute and generic skill though looking the relationships between what is universal (generic) and what is situated (contextual/discipline specific) in experiences of information literacy.
