Presentation Description

The presenters will share the results of their collaboration which focused on information literacy instruction for intermediate level Spanish students. A librarian instructed a class employing the Big 6 skills as a framework. A comparison class with the same research assignment received no information literacy instruction. Results of the two sets of research assignments were evaluated using rubrics to determine if the students who had received the additional instruction demonstrated superior information literacy skills.
