Appropriate and efficient use of scholarly information is vital to academic success. This is not as simple as it seems.
To ensure that you have the best opportunity to succeed the University has created ELISE – an online tutorial
to introduce you to the scholarly information landscape and show you how best to navigate it. This will save you
time and build your confidence.

ELISE gives you a head start in understanding how to find, use and evaluate essential information, whether it be print
or online. It will help you locate the services you need to maximise your academic potential. Learn how to recognise your
information needs, search databases, evaluate resources and write quality assignments. ELISE also highlights the
important issue of plagiarism and how to avoid it.

It is suggested that you complete ELISE before week 5 to gain the maximum benefit in your first assignments.
The quiz MUST be completed by the end of your first semester of enrolment.
