Students
If you are a university teacher, you can book tutorials in information retrieval for your students. The tuition aims to help students develop skills so that they can independently search for, critically evaluate, and apply information within their subject field.
To maximise the relevance and usefulness of the tutorial, there should be a clear tie with the course the student is taking. That said, we would prefer that content is planned with a view to the programme as a whole.
For programmes, a series of tutorials can be scheduled across semesters as students progress through their studies. Tuition is also offered for courses that are not part of a programme. The librarian and the course teacher discuss the planning of the tutorials.
Tutorial Content – Examples:
- Introduction to library services
- Discussion on scientific/scholarly material
- Searches in relevant databases
- Tools and discussions for the critical evaluation of sources
- Referencing
