Hi Peter, I am the schools rep on the Information Literacy Group (CILIP). This is a topic that I am very interested in. I have recently started a Schools forum to discuss this issue. We would lije to develop links with HE institutions and also develop Skills lessons that would prepare our students for the transition to HE. It would be great to get a dialogue going about what skills you think that students need in preparation for University courses.
