Library Instruction: Information Literacy

What is Information Literacy?
• Information Literacy is the set of skills needed to find, retrieve, analyze, and use information.
• This is the information age!
• Information literacy equips them with the critical skills necessary to become independent lifelong learners.
• “Too often we assume that as students write research papers and read textbooks they are gaining sufficient IL skills. This is not so. IL skills may be introduced but what is needed is a parallel curriculum in IL forming a strong foundation of a college education.” –(www.acrl.org)
• Basically information literacy is setting up the skills to be a life-long, engaged learner!

How we handle Information Literacy
• For students to learn information literacy it must be embedded.
• We focus on student centered learning and sticking to complete instructional design methods and active, collaborative learning theories.
• Each session is designed around informed learning. They will leave with hands on practice and part of their research finished.
• Active, informed learning of information literacy produces many positive outcomes for students and faculty.
