Teaching Learners to Research Smarter: Creative Approaches to Information Literacy Design

Writing a research paper requires solid information literacy skills. This session will guide faculty to design a dedicated library focus into online courses to strengthen students' information literacy. Lesson ideas for embedding essential information literacy components into a course will be explored. Activities and assessments — Reference Building Challenge and Reference Scavenger Hunt, to name a couple — will help learners format sources, craft citations, and use advanced search techniques.
