Library 101 is a course for social sciences international students who want to learn about services and resources offered by University libraries.
This course gives an overview on information literacy, that is the ability to find, access, evaluate, organize, use and communicate information.
These skills are essential to do effective bibliographic researches and to write your final dissertation, too. Overall they are helpful to improve your research on a topic or to write an assignment, anytime you need to retrieve relevant and complete information and communicate it.

"We are drowning in information while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely"
(E. O. Wilson. 1998. Consilience. The Unity of Knowledge. New York: Knopf)
