Hello and welcome to the University Library’s learning path on using and citing sources!

In this learning path, you will be introduced to various texts, videos, and exercises that provide an introduction to the topics of information literacy, source criticism, referencing techniques, and academic integrity. These are essential skills and areas of knowledge you will need throughout your studies, whether you are just starting a bachelor’s degree, working on a master’s thesis, or pursuing continuing education.

This learning path consists of two main sections:

Information literacy and source criticism, where you learn about sources and how to critically evaluate them.
Reference technique, where you learn about academic integrity and how to use the sources in your writing.

You can use this learning path as a learning tool before you begin writing your assignment, or as a reference tool while you are in the middle of the writing process. To see an overview of all the pages in the learning path, click the “Modules” button in the menu on the left.
