Original Abstract

The Central Library of Brno University of Technology in Brno (BUT) in the Czech Republic runs an e-learning course for first year students providing them with the basic information needed to improve their information literacy. The content of the course has changed by the installation of the web scale discovery Primo. Students are now briefed to use Primo for searching all the information content available on BUT. Because there is no further need to have individual chapters devoted to library catalogue and databases, it gives space to new issues that should be included in the information literacy course (e. g. presentation of information). With the new run of the course this semester we did the usability study of Primo that informed us about other changes that should be done.
