Tiger TAIL

The LSU Libraries announces the launch of Tiger TAIL (Tutorial About Information Literacy). Based on the University of Texas at Austin's TILT (Texas Information Literacy Tutorial), Tiger TAIL is an interactive tutorial, designed to instruct students in the forms and functions of information.

Through a series of modules, students will learn to search for and be critical of information found on the Internet and in library sources. It is a brief, yet comprehensive, introduction to essential research skills, which takes about two hours to complete. Students are tested at the end of each module and, test results can be emailed automatically to the course instructor.

Consider assigning Tiger TAIL to your classes that are doing research projects, either as part of their course grade or as extra credit.

The link to Tiger TAIL is on the library’s tutorial page at http://www.lib.lsu.edu/instruction/tutorials.html.
