Alternatives to Live Training Sessions
- Self-study courses are compilations of online learning materials with which you can study the contents of a course yourself, so that you can decide on the time and place you want to work through the materials. You can either use our self-study courses as additional information to our live sessions or as an alternative to them.
The self-study course "Library Essentials - An Introduction to Bayreuth University Library (self-study)" gives an overview of the services for students provided by Bayreuth University Library. It focuses on library research and access to digital library contents. The self-study course "Library Essentials - An Introduction for Students and Staff of the Faculty of Life Sciences: Food, Nutrition & Health (self-study)" gives the same overview, but this course teaches both basic library knowledge as well as advanced knowledge, specifically designed for the particular requirements of the Faculty of Life Sciences (location Kulmbach).
