Information Literacy Toolkit

Support is available - You are not alone!

Information literacy is an area where the University has recognised that support is crucial.

Information Services has teams of faculty librarians, information literacy specialists and learning advisors here to work with you. They can advise you on teaching, learning and assessment strategies. They have developed materials such as the online Library Research Tutorial.

They will team teach with you in your course. For example, faculty librarians will teach customised lectures and tutorials covering:

• Topic analysis;
• Search strategies;
• Use of the Library catalogue;
• Use of electronic databases and
• Evaluation of information.

Learning advisors will teach customised lectures and tutorials covering:

• Note taking and note making;
• Academic writing;
• Concept mapping;
• Literature reviews;
• Writing research proposals and research reports;
• Reading effectively;
• Approaches to understanding statistics; and
• Citing and referencing.

Information literacy specialists can teach lectures covering the basics of:

• Access;
• Dreamweaver;
• EndNote;
• Excel; PowerPoint; and
• Word.

There are also services to which you can refer your students so that they can independently develop their information literacy skills. These include:

• individual or small group consultations with a learning adviser;
• workshops;
• self-help resources.
