Integrating Information Literacy into the Academic Curriculum

Integrating information literacy into the academic curriculum requires the participation and collaboration of technology specialists, faculty, librarians, and administrators. This presentation describes the integral part each of these professionals plays in helping learners take advantage of the electronic tools used in today's higher education environment to prepare them as information literate individuals that focus on exploring, evaluating and converting data into new knowledge that can be communicated in a meaningful way. The internet is rich with information about countless alternatives for knowledge gathering. Information literacy skills will enable students and faculty to better organize and evaluate the wealth of information that they must keep track of, encourage self-direction, and improve learning processes.
