We partner with faculty to empower students to effectively use information in school, at work & in their personal lives. Students will be successful life-long information seekers who identify, access, evaluate & ethically use all types of information.

Librarians work with faculty members to include information literacy in the online environment - for any class format that needs online information literacy content. Online instruction may be presented in a variety of formats, including tutorials, videos, live online sessions (Zoom, Canvas Conferencing), and more.

Course guides support students by combining library & research resources as well as information literacy content. Course guides may be developed for:

• a specific section of a course - the section needs specialized resources for a specific assignment.
• a discipline - all courses in the discipline need a shared set of resources & information literacy skills.
