The mission of the University Libraries' Information Literacy Program is to help individuals learn how to locate, evaluate, and use information effectively through a variety of means and in collaboration with the teaching faculty.

INFORMATION LITERACY MODULES - The University Library offered an information literacy course called Research in the Information Age, through the College of Arts and Letters, for several semesters.  The final offering of this course was in Fall 2009.  We are now concentrating our information literacy efforts on helping faculty to create information literacy courses in the departments and to embed information literacy elements into existing courses.

We are working with the Center for Learning Technologies to create short modules on basic information literacy concepts that were part of the AL201 course.  These modules will include multimedia elements and will reside on Blackboard so that any faculty member may link them to their own Blackboard course web pages.  Our goal is to complete the modules by March 15, 2010.  For further information, contact:
