The goal of our courses is to aid Stockholm University's
students, teachers and researchers in developing their skills in
searching, critical examination and creative use of scientific
information. These skills are usually labelled "information
literacy". The Swedish Law of Higher Education (Chapter 1, § 9)
states that: "Within the educational field concerned, the students,
in addition to knowledge and skills, shall develop the ability to
seek and evaluate knowledge on a scientific level follow the
development of knowledge"
The Bologna Process has this competency defined as one of
general knowledge, i.e. a generic/transferable skill.
Course Rates and Practical Information
Our course rate is SEK 1060 per classroom hour (45 minutes). The
Basic Information Retrieval Course, a tutorial on our website, is
free. Library introductions cost SEK 530. For external customers
(outside the University) VAT will be added. Not cancelled orders
will be charged. For us to be able to meet your demands on time, we
ask you to submit autumn term orders by June 15th and the spring

We offer courses for small groups (maximum 15 students per

as lectures for large student groups. We recommend that tutored

course content are different search methods, source management, and
