Supported project development both independently, using and developing my own initiative and time management skills, and as part of a team by reporting on my progress, and taking part in two-way discussions about the trajectory of the project. During the early stages of the project, I gained experience in independent research, with the support of the Information Literacy Coordinator and Academic Liaison Librarians. Alongside this research, I analysed both quantitative and qualitative data gathered by library staff when delivering previous inductions, using specialist software, such as LibInsight. Findings were shared at team meetings, giving me the opportunity to gain presentation skills and experience in formal meetings in an office-based environment.Once a strategy for delivering inductions has been agreed with the team, I worked alongside the Information Literacy Coordinator to generate new ideas for induction materials, using the method which my research has found to be most promising. This includes online materials, and sessions to be delivered within the Library. In developing these materials, I also had the opportunity to use a variety of IT software, gaining expertise in the chosen platform(s). This included Moodle and LibApps, amongst others, depending upon the methods chosen.Through this testing process, alterations needed to be made, requiring me to reflect on progress, and allowing me to gain key agility and adaptability skills.
