Information literacy has become an essential skill that higher-education students must possess to succeed. The interactive modular instruction Information literacy Green UAS (University of Applied Sciences) has been developed to help students in higher education in the green sector.

This instruction will teach you:

• how to correctly formulate a search question and how to choose the right search terms;
• about the different types of information sources and how to search within them;
• where you can find the right information;
• how to determine the quality of general and internet-sourced information;
• how to process the found information in reports, articles, presentations and similar assignments;
• how to monitor the process.

How does it work?

The skills have been organised into modules based on the 'Big6' for information literacy. This is a well-known step-by-step plan that was developed by Berkowitz and Eisenberg and consists of 6 steps that you go through when answering a research question.

Students can take the entire series or take each one independently. To begin the module series, click on the 'Next' button on the bottom right of this screen. If you would like to redo the module questions at any time, simply refresh the web page by pressing Ctrl+F5.

Information literacy Green UAS is a co-creation of Aeres University of Applied Sciences, HAS green academy and Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences. For questions or comments, you can visit the library of your university of applied sciences or contact the authors of this interactive module series.
