Information Literacy

Information literacy is the ability to effectively find, evaluate, use and present information in its various formats. Library faculty provide students the following opportunities to learn these essential skills.

  1. College Seminars (OS15/20, including sections reserved by major) - The library component of College Seminar provides instruction and hands-on activities that introduce students to basic library research.
  2. Course specific library classes - Library faculty teach students techniques for doing subject-specific research.
  3. Credit-bearing library research classes - Schedule
      LR 11: Research Essentials: The Library and the Internet - 1.5 credits
      LR 15: Library Research Methods - 3.0 credits
    • For individual research assistance consult library faculty at the reference desk in your campus library.
