Short Description
The demonstration of the library catalog and databases is important, but teaching students to think critically about what they find is the real key to information literacy. This session will provide examples of collaborative learning activities that librarians can use to foster critical thinking. The presenter will provide examples of activities that can transform instruction sessions into shared-learning environments where students create knowledge and critically engage in the research process.
