A Library…What’s that? Information Literacy & Giving Students Life-long Research Skills

The internet has made information available at the touch of a button. The need for an instant answer points many of us, including our students, to false or inaccurate sources of information. The effectiveness of all critical thinking and decision making begins with the quality of information the student has access to. Participants will engage in a session on helping students effectively use their academic library. The session will discuss Information Literacy, or the ability to locate, evaluate, and effectively use information, and present strategies to teach and practice these skills in the classroom.
