Our approach

Charles Sturt University Library partners with academic staff to equip students with essential information, digital, and AI literacies - integrated directly into subjects where it adds the most value.

Key features

• Digital-first resources: Interactive, self-paced materials designed for diverse learners.
• Curriculum integration: When strategically appropriate, resources may be customised to align with specific subjects and student cohorts, ensuring they are both relevant and applicable.
• Co-design and collaboration: Librarians work with you to weave literacies into teaching, learning, and assessment.
• Strategic, scaffolded skill-building: Targeted learning at key points in the student journey, from foundational to advanced.

Why it matters

In a rapidly evolving digital environment, students need to locate, evaluate, and use information and AI tools critically and ethically. An integrated approach builds confident, reflective learners with transferable, lifelong skills they can apply across subjects and into the workplace.

InfoQuest: Information & AI skills: 

InfoQuest is a Brightspace module designed to help students develop the information and AI literacy skills needed to search for, evaluate, and ethically use information and AI tools at university.

Please note: The InfoQuest module is a targeted resource that can be added to a subject site on request or accessed via the self-enrol Library Learning Hub in Brightspace.
