There are several definitions of the concept “information literacy.” By information literacy we use the following definition:

 

Ability to

  • recognize a need for information
  • formulate questions based on the information need
  • identify and locate relevant and appropriate information using print and electronic sources
  • develop successful search strategies
  • evaluate search results – regarding relevance and credibility (source criticism)
  • organize information for practical application

The aim of Information Literacy Training (ILT)

is to stimulate the students’ own search and use of information in the learning process.

 

The main objectives of this website are:

(i) to introduce basic information literacy and

(ii) to give an overview of relevant library resources, especially electronic databases and journals within the subject areas at the Faculty.
