Hi prmstavros, The Library tries to present this type of information by different methods; classes, pdf, online tutorials, one-on-one and in videos. This way we try to reach as many people as possible and clients get to choose what suits them best.

If you feel that you do not like this approach please go to our Information skills page and choose another that might suit you better. You can find the link in the details of this video.

What you're teaching it is important. It's sad, however, that it needs to be presented this way to uni students.
