Learning and teaching support

Guided by the SCONUL Information Literacy Framework, we enrich our students’ learning environment by providing a range of scholarly sources from diverse perspectives.

Library classes and resource development

We can partner with you to:

  • develop and deliver scaffolded information and digital literacy, academic integrity, research and referencing sessions
  • help your TAFE students get connected to Federation University information and systems
  • develop discipline-specific Subject Guides with recommended resources and assessment-specific research guidance
  • assist with sourcing, selecting and linking to library materials to support your curriculum.

When booking library skills classes we encourage you to collaborate with Learning Skills Advisers to deliver sessions addressing academic skills.

  • Library orientation

  • Critically evaluating resources
  • Referencing class
  • Using EndNote as a bibliographic management tool
