Library and Information Skills classes

Our Information Literacy team offers a training program to all UB staff, researchers and students. The aim of the Information Literacy program is to UB staff and students to become lifelong learners through an ability to:

  • identify appropriate information sources
  • critically analyse information
  • research effectively
  • manage information
  • use information to extend and communicate their knowledge across subject fields

Our aim will be achieved through a four strand approach:

  • InfoSkills and Information Technology classes for newly enrolled students
  • Course-integrated InfoSkills classes (TAFE; all levels, Higher Ed; 2nd year to Honours students)
  • Post-graduate researcher program
  • Academic researcher program

You can check full details of each program by viewing the relevant timetable* below, or by contacting staff at your local campus library.
