InfoSkills @ TiU

About the InfoSkills tutorials

The InfoSkills tutorials are created by the university library to introduce incoming students to scholarly sources, effective search strategies, and key databases. There are seven tutorials in total, which are partly generic and partly targeted at the various programs taught at Tilburg University.

We have designed the tutorials so that they can be integrated into a course, or used for self-study by anyone interested in the basics of information literacy. The tutorials are available all year round.

In the academic year 2024-2025 all first-year and nearly all pre-master's students at our university are required to complete InfoSkills as part of their program.
