Information Literacy Instruction topics and exercises for Teaching Assistants to use, in order to help their undergraduate students improve their skills at identifying, locating, evaluating, and using information effectively and ethically.
Welcome! I’m EG, one of the librarians from the College Library, the undergraduate library located here in Powell, You’re here for an information literacy tips & techniques workshop. I designed this workshop for you--Writing Programs Tas, and GE Cluster TFs Some of you may have asked librarians to do guest sessions for your classes that cover some of these topics So you may be wondering why we’re doing these TA workshops & you may be concerned that it’ll just mean more work for you 1 imp reason for doing this is that we teach lots of classes for many depts—there’s growing demand for them & there are only 8 CL librarians, 1 librarian for 3122 undergrads & going down to 7—losing 1 temp librarian, & 1 has been having some health problems, so we may not be able to meet all of the demand We’ve also been told that Tas often have students come in 1 by 1 to get basic research help, so we hope that by using some of these tips & techniques, you’ll save time for yourselves & get better papers from your students We also hope this sort of workshop will help us reach more students in more depts, more systematically, even with reduced librarian staffing
