About Pilot

[Print-friendly version]

Pilot is provided by UC Library as a learning tool to assist you with the development of the knowledge and skills you require to find, use and evaluate information. Pilot has been used and adapted worldwide since its original development in 1999. This redeveloped and enhanced version was released in February 2006 by the Queensland University of Technology Library.

The University of Canberra Library obtained permission from QUT to customise Pilot according to the needs of our students. We gratefully acknowledge QUT's generosity and intellectual input.

This UC version of Pilot was launched in Semester 1 of 2008.

This online tutorial consists of six related, but independent modules:

• Module 1: Determine your information needs
• Module 2: Identify and obtain information
• Module 3: Evaluate your information
• Module 4: Manage your information
• Module 5: Synthesise and communicate your information
• Module 6: Use your information appropriately

These modules are supported by the Pilot Licence, an interactive quiz drawing from all of the above areas.

For an overview of the content of each of these areas, see the sitemap. For best starting points, refer to the help.
