Information Literacy
Our initiatives are always evolving. Currently our information literacy programs include:
- Working with all students in both ENGL 101 and 102 classes and other courses upon faculty request to orient them to the library’s resources
- Conducting classroom sessions in which students and librarians actively collaborate to discover sources for their assignments
- Co-leading APA workshops with the tutoring office
- Meeting one-on-one with undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students to review APA compliance and reference construction
- By faculty request, meeting with students in upper level, major-specific classes to provide subject-specific, in-depth instruction and research support
In these sessions and workshops, we work to develop skills which will enable our students to:
- Discover and critically evaluate relevant information and diverse resources
- Synthesize information into meaningful results through the successful completion of writing projects, presentations, and other faculty assignments
- Engage in ethical discussions about intellectual property rights, plagiarism, and proper citation
- Map how information literacy is intrinsic to successfully completing workplace assignments and to attaining personal goals throughout their lifetime
