INFORMATION LITERACY TOOLBOX

Information literacy is the set of abilities requiring individuals to “recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate and use effectively the needed information.” (Association of College & Research Libraries, 2000). 

The Information Literacy Toolbox of the Library offers a variety of e-tools to teach students information skills. Both lecturers and librarians can integrate these e-learning tools in their education according the 'right time, right content' principle. The toolbox can however also be used independently.

The toolbox is based on a 6-step model. Each step of the information literary process is described and contains tools, such as knowledge clips, that can be used in education / learning communities. All tools focus on developing information skills, including:

•  formulating search questions
•  defining the right search terms
•  selecting relevant resources
•  using the proper search methods
•  assessing / evaluating information
•  using & presenting information correctly

For questions regarding the use of the Toolbox please contact the Information Desk of the Library: Contact us
