LIBGUIDES: on scholarly sources: About these LibGuides

LibGuides offer information on how to search well and use scholarly resources responsibly. LibGuides are compiled by informations specialists and subject librarians of Utrecht University Library in support of research and education at Utrecht University.

There are LibGuides on:

• general information literacy issues and working with scholarly resources
• searching specific types of information
• effective use of search engines and tools
• search tips by discipline

And then there are also special libguides to support library organised training sessions that are part of regular Utrecht University curriculum.

LibGuides are flexible: they can be read and used form start to finish, but each separate 'box' can be re-used and embedded at will.

For more information get into contact with your librarian or mail to library@uu.nl.

Re-using and embedding LibGuide boxes in Blackboard and other sites is a matter of a few clicks.
