| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Information literacy, the ability to identify, locate, and use information effectively, is an integral part of the successful academic experience for both students and faculty. In order to improve our effectiveness in promoting the instruction of library literacy skills we need to build better relationships with faculty and students by promoting our general services more and by making the college community more aware of what services the library can offer to meet their specific needs. We need to increase our faculty collaborations by improving our communications with faculty, by promoting more “embedded librarian” programs, and by offering more open classes to students, staff and faculty. Part of this initiative would include exploring alternate means of delivering information literacy instruction using differing modalities and technologies, |
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Minimal funding for printing of promotional materials can easily be absorbed by the libraries supplies budgets. |
| Department Goals | Provide an effective program of Library Instruction where students will learn the methods and processes necessary to effectively carry out research for scholarly purposes and the pursuit of life-long learning. |
