Information Fluency & Library
Instruction
Don’t overestimate what your students may know about doing
scholarly research. Today’s students are used to relying upon
Google and Wikipedia for their information. Often they need to be
shown how and why to use scholarly indexes and databases to find
good research. The Library and ITS offer a variety of instruction
programs to meet faculty, staff and student needs.
