1: Welcome ...

Feeling overwhelmed by the choice of information for your project? Can't find any at all? Don't know where to start?

Then welcome to Loughborough University Library's InfoTrail@Lboro. InfoTrail@Lboro is designed to help you gain vital information skills. It is your online guide to finding and optimising the information that you will need for your course and beyond.

InfoTrail@Lboro is a self-paced online tutorial made up of six modules. For each module there is a brief introduction outlining the expected learning outcomes and giving a rough estimate of the time it will take to complete.

We recommend that you start at Module 1 and follow the logical steps through the InfoTrail@Lboro. However, you are free to pick and choose the order in which you take the modules from the menu above. First, take a look at the contents page.

InfoTrail@Lboro has been designed to include many activities and exercises so that you can get involved and learn more effectively. We hope that this makes your journey on the InfoTrail more enjoyable too.

Please take the preliminary quiz now - you can see how much you know already. Print out your results as you will have an opportunity to take the test again when you complete InfoTrail@Lboro. Then you can see how much your knowledge has improved.
