Our librarians partner with ÁùºÏÖ®¼Ò faculty and instructors to help students find, use and interpret information.
Through our library instruction, we help students use critical thinking to strengthen their information literacy core competencies by:
- Exploring topics and creating research plans.
- Using search techniques to locate information for research.
- Synthesizing and interpreting information.
- Considering ethical and legal issues when using information.
Information literacy in your course
We can help you incorporate information literacy into your course curriculum in several ways:
Instructor consultations
Our librarians can collaborate with you to create assignments, teaching strategies, rubrics and other approaches that integrate information literacy into your course curriculum and meet your instructional goals.
Library instruction
Librarians can provide instruction sessions in your classroom or in one of the University Libraries’ multipurpose rooms. Research has shown that library instruction has the biggest impact on student learning when tied to a specific class assignment or project. We’ll work with you to customize learning outcomes for your class.
Elearning instruction
Librarians can help you incorporate research instruction materials into your Elearning course, including video or chat-based research instruction, or provide one-on-one research consultations for students using discussion boards, email and chat features.
Microcourse
Our self-paced Information Literacy Microcourse teaches students college-level research skills to prepare them for research projects, advanced classes and future careers. All ÁùºÏÖ®¼Ò students are auto enrolled in this course through Elearning.
