Integrating Information Literacy into Assignments
PLAN
Consult a librarian to share your learning objectives, to ensure that the resources are available for your assignment, and to arrange for instruction.
Librarians can come to your class, maintain a presence in your eLearn and/or meet individually with students.
In addition to instruction, librarians are available to consult on assignment design.
Collaborating with librarians can help you determine the best ways to meet your curricular needs.
DEVELOP
Instruction is most effective when it is delivered at the point of need, rather than at the beginning of the semester before the students are engaged in the assignment.
Librarians are happy to provide as many sessions as you would like to meet your needs.
Librarians can also collaborate with you to identify the resources available to promote students' skill development.
If you share your assignment ahead of time, the librarian can plan the best mode of instruction to meet your learning outcomes.
IMPLEMENT
When students receive the assignment, make sure they are aware of your expectations regarding interacting with librarians or the staff of the Center for Writing and Academic Achievement.
During instruction, librarians also emphasize the various ways to contact the reference team.
Based on your assignment, librarians deliver assignment and discipline specific instruction mapped to specific learning outcomes.
ASSESS
Librarians are also available to consult on assessment tools and options.
Feedback from faculty on the instruction we provide enables us to create enhanced resources and services.
After the assignment has been assessed, let the librarian know what worked well and where the instruction could be improved.
