====**Safari** (www.open.ac.uk/safari/) is an open university guide to information literacy and research skills. Safari is divided into seven sections, each covering a particular aspect of information skills. Within each section there is a series of topics to work through. You can either work through Safari from the beginning to the end, or focus on a particular area by using the contents page to locate specific topics.==== ====Some sections of Safari will require you to undertake activities. For some of these you will need pen and paper. For others you will be directed to web pages and resources outside Safari and away from the OU. Unfortunately some activities will require passwords which are not available but the majority of the site is informative and easy to use.====
