Student instruction in programmes and courses

Information literacy

The concept of information literacy includes the ability to search, find, critically review and use information, for example:

• the peer review process and how research is published in a specific subject area
  
• different types of publications and their characteristics
  
• identifying keywords based on a research question
  
• relevant search tools and evaluating search results
• correct reference management

Academic language

The teaching focuses on helping students develop strategies and skills for writing and reading academic texts. We also offer instruction in oral presentation techniques.

The teaching can include:

• the structure of the academic text
• how to read and navigate a scholarly article
• how to use sources in academic writing
• generative AI and academic writing

Cooperation

Our teaching aims to help students achieve the learning objectives related to information retrieval at both basic and advanced level. The teaching is planned together with the teachers and the content is adapted to the course requirements and the students' knowledge level. We offer both lectures and workshops in smaller groups. Instruction can be tailored to focus on specific aspects of information literacy, academic writing, and reading, or a combination of these areas depending on the needs of the course.

Pedagogical approach

Our teaching is integrated with programmes and courses and each teaching session is based on the subject context and the requirements of the assignments. We strive for in-depth learning through a student active approach and the library classrooms are designed to encourage collaborative learning.
