PILOT Tutorials

Our Canvas-based Path to Information Literacy Online Tutorials (PILOT) will help you gain insight into the research process, develop effective research strategies, and become familiar with the Library’s primary research tool, OneSearch.

Each lesson includes readings, videos, activities, and a quiz to assess your understanding of the material. On average, each lesson takes 30 to 45 minutes to complete. After passing a quiz with a score of 75% or more, you will unlock a downloadable certificate of completion for that module.

For step-by-step instructions on viewing and downloading your certificate, see our FAQ: How do I get my PILOT certificate?
