Information Literacy Instruction

Information Literacy Instruction

Librarians foster information literacy skills in MSMC students through a program of course-integrated instruction, tailored to the specific information needs of a particular class. Instruction sessions can be requested two ways:

• Contact your Liaison Librarian directly.
• Contact Gina Trask, Assistant Librarian for Assessment and Instruction, to determine the appropriate librarian based on your course and/or assignment.

Important Information About Information Literacy Instruction Sessions

• Whenever possible, please request instruction at least two weeks ahead of the desired class date(s) to permit adequate preparation time.
• Every effort is made to schedule sessions during preferred time slots. However, the day and time of instruction is not firm until a librarian contacts the classroom teacher.
• Instructors are expected to be present for the library session.
• Information literacy instruction sessions are individually tailored to meet the needs of specific classes. The librarian will contact the instructor in advance to review the research project or assignment and discuss what should be covered.
