Want to become information literate?

iLit is a new interactive information literacy tutorial developed by Cranfield University and customised for the Lanchester Library that gives students and researchers the ability to locate, access, evaluate and communicate information effectively.

It consists of nine tutorials including search strategies, evaluating information, organising information, current awareness and plagiarism & copyright, which are divided into chapters with activities to test what you have learnt and apply the knowledge. Answers are not recorded.
