1. Information Literacy on a shoestring:
Using a ‘Whole Team’ approach to
developing in-house resources
Jess Haigh
Subject Librarian, Leeds City College

2. Why Make A Resource Together?
Keighley Campus library staff like to dress up!

3. Aims of Project
• Create a usable e-learning resource on using various
aspects of the Library, accessible through Moodle
• Create the resource together as a team, and cross-
campus and involved staff from other campuses
• Creating a project together gave staff a sense of
‘ownership’ of the resource
• Break down barriers between roles- ‘Team building’
• Creating software using Adobe Captivate creates
interactive lessons that can be integrated with VLE and
used anywhere in College and externally.

4. The Murder Mystery

5. Each activity looked at a different
resource on the Library Intranet site
• E-resources such as Ebrary and
Infotrac
• The Library Catalogue
• Journals
Not subject specific
Could be used in classroom,
but also externally, or in the
Library itself
Used audio and written
instructions.

6. Everyone Gets Involved
• The puzzles and the script written by librarians
• All staff had input and ideas on how the
resource could be more creative
We already had a member
of the team with video
editing skills who directed
the video clips.

7. The Good Bits…
• Information Literacy
• Research Skills
• ‘Compare and contrast’
• Team loved inventing
characters
• Brought the team
together
• Was cheap to produce

8. Things To Think About
• Would have students test at every stage
• Would make resources suitable for various
levels
