- Information Literacy Tutorial (TILT) - An award-winning, interactive library tutorial, created by the Digital Information Literacy Office at the University of Texas at Austin. TILT is an educational Web site designed to introduce first-year students to research sources and skills. The tutorial offers an introduction and three modules, which you can complete in any order. Each should take you approximately 30 minutes.

The tutorial has been accepted into the ALA/ACRL Instruction Section's Peer-Reviewed Instructional Materials Online (PRIMO) project, and included in the PRIMO database.
