The focus group was conducted using the ‘flipchart paper and post-it notes’ format, as designed by Ellen.

Additionally, itcompares attitudes to, and use of information literacy within the artificial environment of the university and the ‘real world’ of the nurse as perceived by participants on their clinical and community placements.
