信息素养

The focus of our 信息素养 program is on helping students acquire the skills to search for, 评估, and use information effectively and efficiently. The 图书馆 offers hands-on instruction sessions on library research which is tailored to courses, 作业, 以及学生的研究课题. Instruction sessions will use the full class time. 

We use active learning in our instruction to engage students and improve learning. 信息素养 sessions are available for both traditional face-to-face classes and online classes. Traditional classes meet in our 图书馆 classroom NLIB 124 and online classes receive instruction via Zoom.   

We ask that you give us sufficient time to prepare for your classes with a minimum of one week's notice for classes in the Fall and Spring semesters and 3 days notice in Summer.

新!! Mini-信息素养 Sessions

Don’t want to have a full hour-long session for 信息素养 for your class? 图书馆现在提供 会话 资讯素养. This consists of a 15-minute instruction class to show students how to locate their general course guide and general information on finding resources for their project. The Faculty tab will be created on the general course guide for your department. Here we can offer helpful tips and links for your students based on their assigned research papers or projects.
