Abstract

In the era of information overload, the Library must forsee the current needs of its users in order to correspond in good time to its demands. As far as the Reference Department is concerned, the Library has to identify the user’s skills and help him/her to be able to distinguish (through research methods) the pieces of information. Therefore, the information literacy courses, that take place in the Library, aim to make the most of prior knowledge of each user. The Librarian serves as an instructor- leader, creates a new type of user, an autonomous user, who knows how to evaluate and use library resources, so as to reach his/her academic goal. At the Library and Information Center at Heraklion, the information literacy courses are constantly improved. This academic year 2019-2020, a new learning app (kahoot) has been chosen for presenting the library services. The new comers are permitted to use their mobiles in the seminar room and answer to an online quiz referring to the university library. They can see directly on the PowerPoint wall screen their answers showing what they know or do not know. So the librarian can seize the opportunity and explain more about library issues. As a result, the training course becomes interactive and more interesting to the techno-addicted students. The course is completed when the students succeed in making a search in the Library Catalogue (OPAC).
