Information Literacy Program

We collaborate with faculty to develop information literate students.

What is "Information Literacy"?

Information literacy is the ability to recognize when information is needed and to locate, evaluate, and use it effectively. This set of skills is essential in today's world.  Student development of information literacy is a process that spans the four-year college experience.

Faculty Development Opportunities

The library supports faculty integration of information literacy into courses by offering an annual workshop on designing information literacy assignments.  Read about the workshops, and see the assignments that were developed.

In addition the Association of College and Research Libraries Information Literacy gateway provides many helpful resources.
