The first one (5h Th) is dedicated to an overall presentation of the information research tools available at the Earth Sciences Library of the ULg. Among these : Source, GEOREF, Web of Science, GeoScienceWorld, Science Direct,... as well as some specific internet resources.
The correct writing of bibliographical references is also taught.

The second part (25h Pr) is dedicated to an individual bibliographical research work. The proposed subject is defined in close cooperation with the mineral resources course. A written report presenting the subjects and the existing bibliographical sources is asked from each student. An audio-visual presentation of his work in front of the classroom is organised.
