Learning Outcomes
The Libraries’ learning outcomes, based on the values of our professional organizations and theories of information literacy, provide the foundation of the Libraries’ programmatic teaching and learning-related efforts. Also, these outcomes are guided by larger issues or questions that surround information consumption, handling, and creation.
Curriculum Development
We work with instructors to develop assignments, learning experiences, units, entire courses, and even curricular sequences that
map to information literacy and disciplinary standards
draw on best practices for engaging students in research and information use as iterative processes
set students up for success in their research by identifying available resources and by providing real-world/practical experiences
position students not only as consumers or users of information but importantly also as critics and creators
incorporate critical engagement with technology and computer application skills
scaffold student learning about research and information processes
integrate with course-management systems
