Information Literacy Accross the Curriculum



Initiative TitleInformation Literacy Accross the Curriculum
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, RationaleInformation Literacy proficiencies are an essential component for student success along with reading, writing, mathematics, and critical thinking. While the Library has successfully partnered with faculty in an effort to strenghen IL skills through our library instruction program, and recently with the general education info management assessment, more needs to be done. This initiiative seeks to build on the foundation that has been developed in the following ways: outreach to college departments to incoporate IL skills within their courses, involve the academic community in conversations about strategies to strengthen IL skills, increase the numbers of classes coming to the Library for Library Instruction, include information literacy skills pages on the library website to include information literacy standards, assessment information and rubric, incorporate more hands-on instruction within the Lib. Instruction sessions. Partner with Learning Assistance services to develop an information literacy support student/tutor initiative.
Consequences of this initiative not being fundedStudents will be underprepared and lack the skill set necessary to locate information effectively, evaluate information critically and use it to effectively within a higher education setting.
