The
University Library of
Heidelberg is the main library of the
University of Heidelberg
(Ruprecht-Karls-Universität) library system.
The library also provides literature and information for other institutions of
higher learning in Heidelberg (Teacher Training Academy, University for Jewish
Studies) as well as for users in both the city of Heidelberg and the surrounding
region (Baden-Württemberg).At
the University Library of Heidelberg the modular teaching approach was first
developed in 1996-97 as the result of a lot of experience and learning in
the nineties. The main characteristics of the present teaching activities are:
·
Small teaching units
(1-2 hours)
·
Teaching modules
integrated by a small curriculum
·
Complementary online tutorials
·
DYMIK as a model of
information literacy providing a basis for developing and reflecting the
witnessed teaching activities.
As the courses of the library are not integrated into the curriculum of the
faculties, participation is optional.
The courses – structured in
small teaching units - can be regarded as modules connected to one
another by a small curriculum.
Further information on the structure and
details of this teaching approach can be found in the following
publications:

Aufgabe einer benutzerorientierten Bibliothek. “ZfBB” 43 (1996), No. 6, p.

A proposal for a systematic
integration of teaching information literacy into courses of the University of
Heidelberg was published in

und lebenslanges Lernen. “BuB – Forum für Bibliothek und Information”, 36
