It Takes a Village: Embedding Information Literacy into the First Year Experience [Event flyer]
Presented By: Anne-Marie Deitering, MLS, Oregon State University
Creative and critical thinking, lifelong learning, intercultural competence, civic knowledge and engagement, and information literacy -- when it comes to our goals for our graduates, we are aiming high! None of these goals can be accomplished by one person or one program and none will happen as the result of one learning experience. Information literacy is no exception. The research shows that when it comes to information literacy, students are most successful when it is embedded campus-wide.
In this presentation we will discuss what we have learned about first-year students and their research skills. We will examine what they know about knowledge and learning, and we will identify the barriers they face navigating research assignments in their first year. And we will leave with some new ideas about how to embed these concepts throughout the first-year experience.
