Information Literacy

Catalog description

The purpose is to provide students with the necessary skills to research a topic, organize the information, and use this information in a final paper. Students will learn how to determine what information is needed, how to access and evaluate information sources, select and use those sources effectively, ethically and legally to complete a well organized research project. These skills can then be applied to any future research assignments. A research project is required which must use information found through searches of databases, catalogs, indexes, and the internet. The research project must be outlined and organized effectively and demonstrate the ethical use and attribution of the sources used.
