Library Essentials Online (LEO) Home: Home

Welcome 

 

Library Essentials Online (LEO) is a suite of video- and activity-based modules designed to help students find, access and use information at the University of Tasmania Library. 

There are 22 topics covered in LEO - all things students regularly ask the Library team. These topics are grouped into six modules. You can complete whole modules or just the single topic that's helpful to you right now.

However you'd like to explore it, LEO will give you answers, information and tips to get the most from your university Library.

 

At completion of LEO, you will be able to:

  1. Find and access library services and resources.
  2. Identify appropriate tools, strategies and processes for research.
  3. Apply tools, strategies and processes in assessment tasks.
