Integration

The final report from the Presidential Committee on Information Literacy states that ..."information literacy is a survival skill in the Information Age. Instead of drowning in the abundance of information that floods their lives, information literate people know how to find, evaluate, and use information effectively to solve a particular problem or make a decision."

Integration of information literacy content into the curriculum is an method for teaching these skills. Faculty who integrate information literacy content aid students in making the learning the discipline content more relevant.  Information literacy tools give students what they need to go further with their learning as independent learners.  These areas below will provide faculty with ideas to prepare to teach the content, strategies to implement the content and ways to evaluate student learning.
