Information literacy is essential for anyone wishing to be a successful university student. At BSES there are countless information resources, which are varied and sometimes complex. To help you become more familiar with them and use them in an efficient way, several options are suggested:

Guided Tours
At the beginning of each university year, guided tours of the SES library are organised.	Univ. of Geneva, phot. Nemeth Sedrik
Training Sessions in Information Retrieval Methodology
At the request of the teaching staff, specific training based on users’ needs is organized by the SES library. Courses may cover the methodology of information searching, specialized resources according to discipline, the quotation of sources, plagiarism, etc. Contact: Marinette Gilardi-Monnier Marinette.Gilardi-Monnier@unige.ch, phone: 022 379 80 54/45, librarian.

Individual Training in Information Retrieval
The most useful and efficient way of finding information that is particularly relevant to you is to get in touch with the librarian-trainers. Tell them your study area and references. On appointment, they will show you how to select and use the most relevant information resources. Marinette Gilardi-Monnier : Marinette.Gilardi-Monnier@unige.ch, phone: 022 379 80 54, librarian.
