JoVE Unveils an Information Literacy Video Series for Students
JoVE Launches New ‘Information Literacy’ Video Series to Help Develop Research and Critical Thinking Skills~ The new animated video series, designed to support librarians, educators, and institutions teaching students how to find, evaluate, and use scientific information responsibly ~ 25th March 2026, Texas: JoVE, the world’s leading producer of video-based scientific content, today announced the launch of a new Information Literacy series within its Science Education offering. Designed to help students and researchers build essential skills for navigating scientific information and conducting responsible, evidence-based research, the series features short 3D animated videos covering key research practices such as understanding scientific literature, evaluating sources, citation and plagiarism awareness, database searching, and the role of AI in research. The series is designed for seamless integration into courses, workshops, and library platforms, strengthening the work of librarians, educators, and academic support teams. “Developing strong information literacy skills is essential in a world where access to information is constant, but understanding is not,” said Venkatesh Kamath, VP Content Production and Development at JoVE. “With this collection, we aim to provide clear, visual guidance that helps learners evaluate scientific information critically and apply responsible research practices throughout their academic and professional work.” Rosa Romeo, a veteran librarian at the Università del Piemonte Orientale, Italy said, “I consider these videos highly useful for undergraduate information literacy instruction and would absolutely integrate short videos like these into teaching sessions. Their main benefit is how effectively they help students recognize and evaluate high-quality academic sources.” The Information Literacy series expands JoVE’s growing portfolio of visual learning resources designed to support science education and academic skill development.
