Library courses in the curriculum
For study programs which require skills inÌýliterature search, source evaluation and referencing, the University Library offersÌýcourses that areÌýincorporated into the curriculum.ÌýThe date and content should be adjusted to theÌýcourse of studies.
To arrange a library course:
- Look through the University Library's course catalog
- Choose relevant content
- Contact us viaÌýubbmed@uib.no
We are then going to assemble a suitable courseÌýprogram, which can either be one course that is relevant for a subject, or a series of courses streching across several semesters.
Example for a master studies course program:
- Introduction to literature search and source evaluationÌý(1stÌýsemester)
- Advanced literature searching techniques in relevantÌýdatabasesÌý(3rdÌýsemester)
- Use of reference management tools such as EndNoteÌý(3rdÌýsemester)
Compulsory reading
The University Library wants to ensure access to compulsory reading for as many students as possible. It is therefore necessary that the library has access to reading lists of ÐÒÔË·Éͧ¼Æ»® courses.ÌýHandling of reading lists entries:
- Books are purchased for the library's collection, either in print or electronically
- Scientific articles are accessible either by subscribtionÌýor the literature kiosk
Leganto, the systemÌýfor managing and publishing reading lists, eases the students' task of getting an overview of compulsory reading.ÌýThe digital reading lists are reviewed by the library and are easily accessible for students, instructors, coordinators, the library and Akademika.
