Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to "recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information."

Was this information helpful?

The purpose of this toolkit is to provide the LU and LIT faculty with resources about information literacy and how the librarians can assist them.

Our IL program bases its foundation on the Association of College and Research Libraries Infomation Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education.

As part of our Instruction Programs we offer:

assistance with the creation of assignments that stress information literacy standards

Instruction sessions on library research

Embedded librarian in courses to provide research assistance

tutorials and learning modules for students

And more, if you have an idea please call us.

If you would like to schedule an instruction session for your classes please fill out the online form located at http://biblos.lamar.edu/service/instrform.html or contact Theresa Hefner-Babb at 880-2135 to arrange a session.
