Presentation Description

This session addresses questions of disciplinarily in information literacy: does any discipline “own” it? How is it seen by members of two different disciplines, librarians and writing instructors? How can both work together to maximize student learning in information literacy? The results of a local experience in co-teaching a composition course and of a nationwide survey will be presented. This interactive session will allow attendees to participate in the survey and compare their results to the results obtained in the national survey.
