Short Description

A credit information literacy course, especially one that is part of the core curriculum, is not common among colleges and universities. Such a class, LIBR1101 Academic Research and the Library, has been offered at the University of West Georgia for over fifteen years, with the class being part of the Core Curriculum for twelve years. During the 2010-2011 academic years, two sections of the course were reserved for at-risk students. This presentation addresses the development, teaching, experiences, and future plans for at-risk sections.
