Introduction to Research & Information Literacy
Students enrolled in First Year Writing are required to participate in the library's information literacy program. The program includes an asynchronous Canvas course (40-60 minutes) and a librarian-led instructional session (75 minutes) that teach students how to identify, locate, evaluate, and apply information effectively. These skills support research papers and other course assignments while also preparing students to navigate information analytically and ethically in academic, professional, and everyday contexts, including AI and algorithmic literacy.
