Zach S. Henderson Library and the Faculty Learning Community of Information Literacy

Zach S. Henderson Library and the Faculty Learning Community on Information Literacy invite Georgia Southern faculty to visit two new Web pages designed for those seeking to integrate research competencies into their classes.

The following link http://library.georgiasouthern.edu/libref/literacy.html will take you to a resource page summarizing support programs and resources from the Library for teaching students to recognize when information is needed and to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information.

The following link http://library.georgiasouthern.edu/libref/fyseminar.html will take you to sample assignments and tutorails designed to teach research or "information literacy" competencies. The sample assignments were developed by Georgia Southern faculty as well as faculty from around the country, and were compiled by the Faculty Learning Community on Information Literacy.
