Library and Information Skills Programme (Semester A, 2008-2009)

Aim

The Library and Information Skills Programme (LISP) aims to improve the ability of students to make effective use of the collections, services, and various electronic resources of the CityU Library in their academic pursuit.

The Programme

The Programme is specifically designed to meet the needs of students from different faculties/schools. For each category of disciplines (Business / Humanities & Social Sciences / Science & Engineering), the Programme consists of a series of five short courses. Two identical sessions are available for choice for most of the courses. To benefit fully from the Programme, students are strongly advised to take at least ALL of the four core courses but they may also take a selection of any of the core and optional courses.
