The library's teaching

Are you a teacher and want to book a teaching activity in finding, evaluating, collecting and using scholarly information? The library offers teaching on different levels in the programs. Are you a doctoral student or researcher and need support? We provide workshops and tutorials in information retrieval, reference management, and publishing.

KTH Library supports students and doctoral students to develop a reflective approach to how information is produced, distributed, evaluated and used in an ethical way. Our aim is to enable students and doctoral students to pass their exams and get a good start for lifelong learning. Therefore, we provide diferent kinds of lectures from A- to doctoral level.

Flexible teaching that suits you and your students

Our experience is that the library lectures will be best if they are aligned to a course and designed in collaboration with a teacher. In order to get the best result, we would like to design the lecture in collaboration with you so it will fit your course and your students. We work actively with e-learning and provide e.g. webinars and distance tutorials. Please book a classroom since the library cannot provide this.
