Support for Teaching

Contact your ALL to arrange information literacy sessions for your students, tailored to the needs of the course, module, assignment or project and delivered within the course timetable. We generally find that a series of short sessions are more effective than one long session.

The TUC ALL also offers training and advice on information literacy centred on the use of special collections.

Common topics in information literacy sessions

• Plagiarism and referencing.
• Literature searching.
• Practical demonstrations of search techniques and tools.
• Managing references using software like Zotero.
• Obtaining materials from other libraries and accessing other libraries.
• Searching the internet and critically evaluating sources.
• Using primary sources and copyright. 

ALLs are happy to provide refresher sessions and appointments for staff and their students.
