Since that time, the Library and the College have taken steps to address needs in this area. In revising the liberal education requirements, the College has recognized the importance of information literacy. In addition to this infusion of information literacy within the liberal education curriculum, the Library, in conjunction with the School of Education, has begun to offer a one-credit course in information literacy. This service includes a wide range of databases, including citation, full-text and directory files.
Many more files are also available.
In the last issue of this newsletter, I reported on a new service that allows users to send interlibrary loan requests electronically over the web. This service has become a hit. We have reports of its ease of use and convenience. Library staff also find it improves the workflow and speeds up processing time. If you need materials not available in the Library, please consider using our electronic form to request books, journal articles or other materials.
