Skills at Library is our our information literacy training programme for Essex students and researchers. It includes online learning guides, workshops and training sessions, and the Information Skills Moodle course. Skills at Library training is divided into 7 sections that will take you through the basics of using the Library and on to more advanced information literacy skills needed for academic work and life beyond university. Use these resources however works for you. Go through each lesson in turn or skip to the section you need. It's up to you!
Skills at Library workshops are a great opportunity to practice information skills, learn alongside your peers, and get instructor feedback. Our 8 core workshops are offered regularly online and in person, and will take you through the basics of using the Library and on to more advanced information literacy skills needed for academic study and research.
Who are they for?
Our workshops offer information literacy training recommended for undergraduates and PGT students, but they are open to all members of the University of Essex. To get the most out of Skills at Library training, we recommend completing the 'Information Skills' course on Moodle alongside our workshops.
Workshops for PGRs and Early Career Researchers can be found on the Support for Researchers page.
