IRIS and STIL

UWA Library has a range of IL resources and approaches. They are working towards embedding IL into the curriculum and have some great examples in Medicine and Law. However, Like Murdoch, they are also providing some core first year on line units : IRIS, as well as a more generic InfoPathways, which you can see at the link above. IRIS is compulsory but not directly assessed; if students don’t complete it they will have a fail recorded on their academic record.
STIL gives access to skills for librarians who are teaching IL, similar to the LibLearn programme we ran at Newcastle and Durham a few years ago.
