New Online Guide for Faculty

The Research Librarians of the d’Alzon Library have developed a new online guide for faculty: Teaching Information Literacy for Faculty. This guide is designed to make it easier for you to incorporate the teaching of information literacy, or research skills, into your curriculum. We have developed learning objectives, assessments and active learning exercises in the guide for four distinct areas:

• Defining the Information Need
• Searching and Finding Information
• Evaluating Information
• Using Citations and Avoiding Plagiarism

You are able to choose those elements that you want to incorporate into your coursework. All media is licensed for reuse under Creative Commons licenses, and are embeddable into Blackboard or Brightspace.

You can access the guide from the "Teaching Information Literacy" tab above, or from the library homepage under “Faculty,” choose “Research Guides” then “For Faculty” and finally “Teaching Information Literacy for Faculty.”

If you have any questions or need any assistance in using the guide, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Also, if you’d like to discuss other ways in which we can collaborate with you to teach these research skills to students, please contact us.

Thank You,
