The Skills@Library lecturer pages, created by the Skills@Library e-learning team from University of Leeds, are a valuable resource for those responsible for teaching such academic skills as using information responsibly, giving effective presentations, working in groups, and avoiding plagiarism. The pages offer a bank of ready-made workshops and activities for face-to-face instruction as well as online learning modules that are all freely available to be used and amended as necessary. While the ready-made instructional materials available on the Skills@Library lecturer pages can greatly benefit librarians teaching information literacy courses, the overarching goal of these pages is to help academics and librarians embed information literacy instruction into the curriculum.
