What is Information Literacy?

"Information literacy is the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning" (ACRL, 2016).

What Can the Library Faculty Help me With?

The library faculty can work with you to develop a plan for addressing research education in your course. We can work with you to:

• identify outcomes & suggest appropriate activities.
• mix & match and sequence existing LibWizard tutorials into a Canvas module.
• create additional LibWizard tutorials.
• develop other assignments, activities, discussion posts, etc.
• create online research guides.
• scaffold the research process into your course.

How Do I Request Instruction?

Please request instruction using the applicable form.

• Merced Research Instruction Request Form
• Los Baños Research Instruction Request Form

You can add multiple sections of a course to one form. The forms feed to a central location to assist the library faculty with scheduling. You will receive a confirmation from the librarian assigned to prepare instruction for your class within 2 business days.
