INFORMATION LITERACY INSTRUCTION PROGRAM
Library and Archives staff help students, staff, and faculty at all campuses discover resources, access services, and build skills. All of these actions culminate in information literacy.
The Library and Archives supports and promotes research assignments that…
- grade students on how they conduct research alongside any final products
- encourage students to peer-review each other’s research processes
- demonstrate the research process in a specific field of study for students to gain real-world research experience
- provide clear and consistent instructions (working toward a common vocabulary) for how to conduct and report on research
