Information Literay course - Discover, access and use information effectively for your research and academic success!

1 ECTS | 2 + 1/2 days (25 hours)

Course description:

Information Literacy aims to respond to problems, errors and gaps in web information retrieval that have been identified worldwide, even among younger generations. It has been acknowledged that technology competency is distinct from information competency and therefore does not provide adequate solutions for Internet information searching complexities.

Easy and extended access to information is causing end-user overload and leading to difficulties in identifying, evaluating, selecting, locating and accessing relevant and reliable information sources that can address specific information needs.

The main objective of the Information Literacy Course is to provide students with a set of critical information skills mentioned above that have been recognized as crucial for academic achievement and life-long learning development requirements.
