WHAT is
ILIP?
ILIP (Independent Learners Introductory Program) is an introduction to research skills and the technology that will enable you to find information. An independent learner has the ability to locate, critically analyse, interpret, evaluate, and use information. It is essentially not only at university but also in professional and private life.
WHO must complete ILIP?
- ILIP100 is compulsory for all new undergraduates.
- ILIP009 is compulsory for all new postgraduate coursework
students who have not completed the online undergraduate
ILIP100 assignment in the past five years.
- While ILIP is not compulsory for postgraduate research
students, it is strongly recommended.
WHEN must ILIP be completed?
As ILIP is intended to assist in your studies, you are strongly
encouraged to complete the compulsory online ILIP assignment
in the first six weeks of your first session. ILIP must, however,
be completed by the end of your first session. Failure to
do so will result in your grades being withheld.
HOW is ILIP completed?
ILIP is made up of two components: the ILIP training modules
and the compulsory online ILIP assignment.
1. The ILIP training modules
The online ILIP training modules prepare you for the compulsory
online assignment. The modules include information and exercises
on topics such as how to use the library catalogue and how
to access the various databases available for locating information.
Plagiarism, a serious issue at university, is also introduced.
Use the navigation bars at the top and down the left side
of the page to work through each module.
In addition to the online modules, face-to-face classes are
provided by many University of Wollongong libraries at the
beginning of each session. Check your local UOW Library for
class times.
2. Compulsory online ILIP assignment
Once you have either worked through the online ILIP modules
or attended an ILIP library class, you need to complete the
compulsory assignment. The link to the compulsory assignment
is located in the navigation bar at the top of this page.
