Embedding information literacy
Ideally, information literacy should be embedded into and across the curriculum. Your Liaison Librarian can:
- work with you and course design teams to embed information literacy into the lifelong learning for your students;
- design and deliver specific lectures, tutorials and training sessions within your courses and units to facilitate skills and concept learning in information research;
- assist in designing assessment that gauges information literacy learning as well as content learning.
The Library has developed an Information Literacy Framework and Syllabus to guide the ongoing delelopment and delivery of the University's curricula with respect to information literacy. Find out more about information literacy strategies for developing students' generic capabilities.
