Waseda University Library has been contributing to improve students’ information literacy by holding several workshops (e.g., explaining the usage of the library facilities, how to find materials, how to use databases, etc.) and providing self-taught materials (e.g., guides for finding materials, video contents, etc.).
By making full use of those contents, your students will be able to get the most benefit of the materials which Waseda University Library provides, and surely become information literate !!
You can introduce some integrated courses on learning how to search materials and the usage of the useful tools and databases in your classes.
Contents of the courses can be customized upon your request. Generally, we ask you to prepare the PC rooms to hold the course, but we can consult with you about date and place.
In addition, the contents offered in the library are available in the Guides & Tutorials. Please use them as class assignments.
