- In the fall of 2012, our library surveyed teaching faculty to gauge their expectations around students’ use of information. We asked instructors what they thought was important for students to know in each year of study, how proficient they felt students were in performing tasks associated with research, how they expected students to acquire that proficiency, and how they assessed students’ skills. The survey also polled faculty on the types of resources they felt were important for each year of study. The results of the study are informing the development of the library’s strategic plan and the inclusion of information literacy outcomes in program reviews and assessments. The good news...

- Mount Royal College has a longstanding commitment to information literacy as part of its mandate to promote student success and satisfaction. The library has provided course-integrated instruction in a variety of formats for over twenty years. Moving beyond course integration to program integration was a natural progression. Librarians and teaching faculty saw a need to plan sequenced sessions that would introduce students to incrementally complex information skills and resources throughout their academic careers. The librarians anticipated that integrating the instruction through the program would reduce unnecessary repetition, enhance student awareness of the myriad resources beyond the...

- Librarians at an undergraduate university have embarked on a year-long project to map what is actually being taught in each of the over six hundred course-integrated information literacy (IL) classes taught each year. Data from the project is informing planning for IL programming as we develop a more strategic program-integrated curriculum that makes better use of librarians’ expertise. We are gaining insights on areas of duplication and opportunities to develop higher-level IL sessions to address more advanced use of information.

- Information literacy (IL) is both a discipline and transdisciplinary skill (ACRL, 2015). Its transdisciplinary and context-dependant application, as well as its theoretical underpinnings, make it a natural fit within the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). IL is broadly defined as the ability to search for, select, critically evaluate and use information for solving problems in various contexts (ACRL Framework, 2015; SCONUL 7 Pillars, 2015). Previous decades of expansion and diversification in higher education - with a growing interest in research on teaching and learning (e.g. SoTL), along with the rapidly changing information landscape – has highlighted IL as an important...
