Library Faculty are the information literacy (info lit) experts. Info lit is a discipline that focuses on finding, evaluating, utilizing, creating, and disseminating information in a variety of formats. It incorporates critical thinking, analytical, and problem-solving skills. It is relevant across the curriculum and is ranked by employers as an important skill for graduates to have. Instruction is customized to support the learning outcomes of an assignment or course. Instruction is available in-person, live online, and online on your time. The core concepts and student learning outcomes addressed are informed by the ACRL’s Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education.

Contact serene.rock@scottsdalecc.edu to discuss how to integrate information literacy into your courses to best support and enhance student learning.
We offer instruction for a single class session, multiple class sessions, and/or flipped sessions.
Single sessions allow time for introduction to one or two concepts and independent/group research time
Multiple sessions allow for more in-depth coverage of concepts and additional independent/group research time
Flipped sessions include a Canvas module to be completed prior to an in-person class session. This option provides students with plenty of active learning time to practice the skills from the Canvas module.

**Please note that a minimum notice of 7 days is required for all instruction sessions** Advanced scheduling is highly encouraged.
