User education – the project on information literacy

Main goals
The project aims at:
·        Organising and structuring the IL initiatives related to user education into standardised didactic modules;
·        Obtaining their accreditation thanks to their high quality, so that the IL initiatives will be integrated into the curriculum.

Through the project:
·        Information resources will be used more widely and awarely;
·        The current IL initiatives related to user education will be bettered, centrally co-ordinated and structured;
·        The educational offer will meet a higher standard level, which will be shared and valuable as well as other services.

It consists of 5 main steps:
1.      to census and monitor the ongoing initiatives;
2.      to product standardised modules, including a general propaedeutic cross-disciplinary tutorial and a specific disciplinary section (in presence and/or online);
3.      to negotiate the courses accreditation;
4.      to evaluate whether and how far the set aims are achieved;
5.      following this evaluation, to reformulate the actions to be taken.

A working group has been established to support the project.

Detailed information about the project, its goals, realization phases and work methodology are available in Italian
