Send a copy of your research assignments to your division's liaison librarian so the reference librarians will be aware of and prepare for upcoming student questions. Consider follow-up sessions with a librarian after students have had some experience in finding information, to answer questions and solve problems. We request that faculty attend the sessions. This sends the message that information skills are important and valued. It also gives faculty the opportunity to become updated on the library's continually changing and expanding resources and to assist students with their research questions.
Additional handouts are available along the back of the Reference Desk.
New ones are developed throughout the academic year. The U.S. Department of Labor, SUNY, college and university re-accreditation organizations such as Middle States and other key agencies state that strong information literacy skills are increasingly required for success in education, careers and life. By collaborating with librarians to plan effective assignments and information literacy sessions, ACC faculty can help students learn to use the power of information regularly, with more ease and less effort. They will be better prepared for the future in a rapidly changing, information-driven world. 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. Hours vary during holidays, summer semesters and college breaks.
