Course-Integrated Instruction

Research shows that one of the best ways for students to learn information literacy skills is in the context of authentic research assignments in their classes.  To support this, librarians are available to consult with faculty members on class presentations customized to individual courses or academic disciplines on:

  • Creating research strategies for projects 
  • Finding, selecting, and evaluating information resources
  • Using electronic resources, including high-quality Internet sites
    This works best when librarians can collaborate with faculty members when research assignments are designed for the course.  Librarians can also create web pages and bibliographies of pertinent research sites and tools for the course. To set up a customized instruction session for your class, contact your subject liaison librarian.
