Doing research tutorial

This tutorial was created by library staff at University of Illinois at Chicago. Kate from medical forwarded the link to us. Again it's a really useful tool for classes. I would ask permission to use it in classes
before actually doing so, as I'm unsure of usage/permissions. It pays to ask!

basic searching module

This module is nearly completed http://oil.otago.ac.nz/oil/Wendy.html Take a look and see what you think. We've created this basic module to help students search for information. We're trialling it tomorrow in an OT class and also with students in a foundation course. It will be interesting to get the feedback from these sessions. For anyone interested in creating their own modules follow this link and take a look at the modules that have been created by the Information Literacy e-Learning Modules project team.
