For teachers

If you are teaching students at Stockholm University, the library offers teaching in information literacy for your students.

The library purchases the course literature which is used for your courses. The literature lists are sent to the library and the books are ordered accordingly.

The library's self-study course in Canvas

Give your students a better start when it comes to finding and using academic information. The library’s self-study course Better searches, better essays – finding the right research provides them with basic information-searching skills and consists of four sections featuring texts, videos and self-correcting quizzes.

The course provides practical tools for searching databases effectively, understanding the characteristics of academic texts and avoiding common pitfalls in information retrieval. Students also receive an introduction to reference tools that make working with sources and references easier.

If you have any questions absout the course you are welcome to contact us at kursbokningsub@su.se..

Book a teaching session for your students

Our teaching focus on how knowledge and information are organised. The overall goal is to develop the student’s ability to search for information and evaluate it in a scholarly way. We are happy to adapt the course content according to your students' needs. 

Our teaching aims to enable students to:

•    Be familiar with different sources of information and search services
•    Be able to carry out information seeking in a scholarly manner
•    Be able to discern if different sources are reliable and relevant
•    Be familiar with different tools available for writing references

Lecture in the library or Zoom

You can book a lecture or workshop in the library or Zoom. The library’s course room can accommodate a maximum of 25 people. We can also come to your department.

Send course literature lists to the library

Each department and course coordinator is responsible for informing the library about which textbooks are relevant before each semester.

Please send course literature lists to kurslitteratur.sub@su.se. The lists should clearly state which titles are new for the semester. This enables the purchasing procedure to go faster.

Unfortunately, the library does not have the opportunity to actively monitor sold-out titles on the course literature lists. But if we know that a previously sold-out book becomes available again, we will acquire it.
