Course Syllabus

“Information literacy  forms the basis of lifelong learning. It is common to all disciplines, to all learning environments, and to all levels of education. It enables learners to master   content and extend their investigations, become self-directed, and to assume greater control over their own learning.”

-ACRL, Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education

LIB 100:

Information Fluency in the Digital World

   

 

LIB 100 is a 2-credit, general elective course that provides students with an introduction to research, information management and computing technology skills. Beginning with the class of 2011, this class has been taken by all Engineering Technology and Global Studies and Maritime Affairs (GSMA) students.

 

In this class, students will explore the research process and learn to critically evaluate resources while simultaneously receiving an orientation to the use of common Microsoft Office programs, including Word, PowerPoint & Excel.

 

 

 

The goals of this class are threefold:

 

     1.  Give students a solid orientation to the research process;  

 

     2.  Prepare students for effective and ethical participation in a digital learning environment;

 

     3.  Empower students to efficiently carry-out future assignments, projects, and presentations

          through the use of information resources  and common software programs
