Teaching students how to effectively and critically use information resources.
Our librarians collaborate with faculty to custom-tailor library instruction to meet the needs of their classes. Contact your department's Subject Librarian to discuss how we may be of assistance.
Undergraduate
Our Undergraduate Research and Information Literacy Instruction Program is structured to promote the cultivation of information literacy, starting with foundational skills in the freshman year and progressing toward advanced discipline-specific skills in the senior year. These skills help students produce higher-quality research papers and presentations, while preparing them for future success in graduate study or their chosen profession.
Information Literacy Instruction
Library instruction is available in a variety of forms, including:
- traditional, instruction sessions in the library classroom,
- short drop-in presentations,
- hands-on workshops,
- one-on-one appointments,
- asynchronous Canvas tutorials, and
- research guides on the library website.
Graduate
Our Graduate Research and Information Literacy Instruction Program is flexible and adaptive to meet the needs of each graduate curriculum and student. Graduate students bring with them a variety of knowledge and experience. We seek to help them build off their existing Information Literacy skills to expand their knowledge of how information is created, disseminated, accessed, and used within their respective disciplines and professions. Students will be challenged to explore varied perspectives while engaging in critical analysis of information and data in order to make informed and ethical decisions.
