Ten years of information literacy at the EUI: statistics, changes and lessons learned

Presentation by Federica Signoriello, History Information Specialist, EUI Library. The European University Institute (EUI) Library supports a diverse community of approximately 1,350 members, comprising doctoral and postdoctoral researchers, as well as faculty in the social sciences from across Europe. Its Information Literacy Working Group, comprising four subject specialists with doctoral training and an Open Science team, provides user-focused support through individual consultations and a calendar of specialised training sessions, a practice commonly described as ‘boutique approach’. The team also addresses data, visual, and digital literacies, as well as scholarly communication.This presentation delves into the evolution and effectiveness of the information literacy training at the EUI Library over the past decade (2015-2024), using ten years of statistical and qualitative data, identifies key challenges and opportunities in delivering information literacy support, and provides recommendations for improvements.
