Intended for students at any level beyond their first year, Information Research Strategies is a one-credit course taught by a faculty librarian that focuses on developing students’ research abilities to hone their “information literacy”, the ability to recognize when information is needed and knowing how to locate, evaluate, and effectively use that information for academic research. Offerings of this course will focus on information literacy concepts, which may include developing research questions/topics, accessing information sources, formulating search strategies, analyzing sources critically, utilizing library-specific collections, managing information, publishing scholarly content, or using information ethically.
