信息素养

The library staff provides quality information literacy instruction to meet the learning and research needs of students. According to the information literacy 标准 set by the Association of College and Research Libraries, the information literate student will be able to:

  • Determine the extent of information needed
  • Access the needed information effectively and efficiently
  • Evaluate information and its sources critically
  • Incorporate selected information into one’s knowledge base
  • Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose
  • 了解经济, 法律, and social issues surrounding the use of information, and access and use information ethically and 法律ly

In order to help students achieve these goals, LRC staff provides information literacy sessions to instruct students on best practices for research. Finding reliable information is a skill used in all class levels and information literacy sessions can benefit students in every academic area.

What Can I Expect from an 信息素养 Sessions for Students?

信息 literacy sessions are customized to class needs. Students walk away with a better appreciation for library resources if they can directly incorporate what they learned in a session into their coursework. Therefore, we require that you send a copy of an assignment. We also encourage instructors to be present during the session. The presence of the instructor demonstrates the importance of the session and collaboration between the instructor and librarian allows for discussion of resources appropriate to the assignment.

信息 literacy sessions can include discussion and demonstration of the following:

  • 扩大或缩小话题
  • 搜索在线目录
  • 搜索电子数据库
  • 寻找可靠的互联网资源
  • 抄袭或引用
  • 评估来源
  • 批判性思维能力

The best way for students to become information literate is through practice. A class session is a good starting point but it is impossible to cover everything in one session. Instructors have the option to schedule multiple class sessions to allow for more in-depth examination of resources. Instructors are also encouraged to bring their classes into the library to use the computers and print materials for on-site research. If you would like to bring your class, please call ahead so we can assign staff to assist your students.
