What are informational skills?

Informational skills are the set of knowledge, abilities, attitudes, and behaviors that make individuals able to recognize when they need information, where to find it, how to evaluate its adequacy, and how to make appropriate use of it in the context of the problem that they are facing.

Informational skills can be defined as acquisition, by the person receiving training, of the following abilities:

  • to find the information that is needed
  • to analyze and select information efficiently
  • to organize information appropriately
  • to use and share information effectively in an ethical and legal manner, in order to build knowledge

Scope

Informational skill building takes place through the training provided by the Library Service.

This training is intended for the various groups of users who use the Library Services.

  • Students in the early years of Bachelor's degrees who are accessing the Library for the first time and need to learn about all of the tools and services that are available to them, as well as acquiring knowledge about searching for and making use of information.
  • Users who are familiar with all the Library's services but need in-depth training on particular information resources, as well as tools for help in managing their personal bibliography.
  • Lecturers and researchers with special requirements regarding the quality of their publications and the visibility of their academic output.

How to cite

Plagiarism and academic honesty

WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?

It is the act of presenting someone else's ideas or work as your own.

When do we plagiarize?

  1. When we summarize an idea or a source using words that are suspiciously similar to those of the original work.
  2. When we copy directly from the original.
  3. When we appropriate someone else's work or ideas.
  4. When we use diagrams, images, tables, or graphs that we did not create.

And we do so without including a citation to identify the authors
