This is the fourth updated version of the EIFL Digital Research Literacy Training Programme Outline for Librarians, which is now available online or for download in PDF [for PDF click the download button on the left].

Digital research literacy comprises the skills, knowledge and understanding required to produce quality research outputs in a digital environment. The EIFL Digital Research Literacy Training Programme Outline for Librarians enables librarians to train and support researchers and students to produce quality research outputs. It is organized according to the research cycle: Discover, Manage Research Data, Publish, Disseminate and Increase Visibility, and Measure Impact. Each section gives an overview of the topic, what the trainer should cover, and what the learner should gain by the end of the training. 

Resources for facilitators and learners included in the outline include webinars, videos and online tutorials, library guides, tipsheets and examples of handouts and presentations. 

The training programme outline was first published in November 2020, and was updated in 2021, 2023 and 2024. 

We would like to acknowledge and thank all the universities whose resources are included in this training programme outline, and the people who gave presentations and shared their expertise through EIFL webinars.
