Online training sessions
Library Services offers a programme of live online training sessions to all OU students and staff.
The online training sessions are 30 to 45 minutes long and provide an online alternative to face-to-face training while still allowing you live access to a librarian. To find out more about the tool we use and to access a room to test your audio, please see the Online rooms guidance (login required).
Recordings of the live training sessions are available underneath the 'Join Room' link on the session pages.
The Library is award winning. The prestigious Information Literacy Award recognises an outstanding UK-based individual or team who demonstrate impact, innovation, initiative and originality in raising the profile of IL within an organisation or sector.
