  blogs, access management/Shibboleth, and mobile technology)

  prestigious UC Berkeley to include information literacy training

To guarantee a highly interactive programme, the number of

interactive component, and two modules are concluded with a
practical workshop. The course is recommended by JISC, the DARE
project, and SURF Diensten.
