This publications presents two modules, one for lecturers and one for students, on inclusive teaching and critical searching. The modules highlight how search engines and databases are far from neutral. They provide handles to critically engage with the information found on these platforms and how to pass this information on to your students. The modules can be used as an extension to information literacy courses or guides. Besides general information, the modules contain VU specific information. This information can be adjusted to other contexts.

Students often struggle to find relevant literature for their thesis projects. The main aim of this tutorial is two-fold, namely to teach students (1) how to find relevant literature using various databases and search strategies and (2) how to critically reflect on the role of digital databases and Generative AI tools in their search process. The package includes a lecturer’s manual and two versions of the same tutorial: one with steps in Excel and one without. The tutorial can be delivered as an in-class workshop (2–3 hours) or assigned as a take-home assignment. The databases and tools used in this tutorial include Zotero, Google Scholar, Project MUSE, JSTOR, ChatGPT, and Excel. The tutorial can be used in any higher education classroom and is particularly suitable for courses that prepare students for writing a BA or MA thesis.
