Assessment and SoTL - Research
Abstract
In the information age available electronic resources often demonstrate undesirable behaviors in students including the inability to identify information needs. As a remedy for this issue a faculty and a librarian collaborated to teach key information literacy skills to the students to prepare them to seek out current and reliable information on the respective upper level undergraduate courses. Pre and post tests on information literacy show significant improvements in students compared to similar upper level undergraduate course without a library partner. This presentation will provide insight into the process of integrating information literacy and library resources into undergraduate courses.
