Pilot is provided by QUT Library as a learning tool to assist you with the development of the knowledge and skills you require to find, use and evaluate information. Pilot has been used and adapted worldwide since its original development in 1999. This redeveloped and enhanced version was released in February 2006.

This online tutorial consists of six related, but independent modules:

Module 1: Determine your information needs
Module 2: Identify and obtain information
Module 3: Evaluate your information
Module 4: Manage your information
Module 5: Synthesise and communicate your information
Module 6: Use your information appropriately

These modules are supported by the Pilot Licence, an interactive quiz drawing from all of the above areas.

For an overview of the content of each of these areas, see the sitemap. For best starting points, refer to the help.
