The primary goal of the Information Literacy Program is to teach students information seeking skills. To achieve this goal, the program uses information literacy as a framework for instruction. Within this framework, librarians teach students how to search for, locate, and evaluate information using print, nonprint, and electronic sources. Initiative Task Force Report 1997 . Instruction Information literacy instruction occurs in course-integrated sessions, is offered through a one credit course, is taught in professional development sessions to faculty, is a component of new student orientation, and is provided as an outreach service to the community.
Most instruction is course-integrated.
Librarians working cooperatively with faculty teach information literacy sessions across the curriculum. Student learning levels, from basic to honors, are addressed. Presence of the course instructor and a relevant library research assignment are required components of instruction. Classes focus on relevant research strategies and sources. Active learning techniques, visuals, demonstration, lecture, instructional materials, and hands-on experiences are provided in the teaching and learning process.
