Registration has closed.

In this workshop, attendees are asked to consider how they became information literate and reflect on how their own information literacy has informed their expectations of their students. This workshop will provide a brief overview of information literacy and will help instructors recognize when students have information needs; available library resources to help undergrads meet these expectations; and course-related library services and tools to support TAs while they address these gaps. The primary focus of this workshop will be on instructors in their capacity as teaching assistants. A workshop for Graduate Student Instructors is offered in winter quarter.
