Curriculum-Based Instruction
Information literacy and information management skills can best be introduced to students and faculty if linked to:
- Specific assignments in the context of course work
- Clinical experiences
- Topical subject disciplines.
Becker’s cadre of experienced librarians will work with faculty/instructors in collaborative efforts to:
- Incorporate/integrate the most appropriate information resources and information technology skills for the educational purpose of each course.
- Tailor these activities in advance of or during the course, as the librarian and faculty/instructor participate in regular communication and discussion.
- Teach large or small groups how to access and use varying online resources available at Becker or via Internet resources that will enhance information seeking skills.
- Help students/faculty/instructors learn how to critically analyze and evaluate information obtained from books/journals/online.
Becker Library and staff are ready to better serve the informational and educational needs of our entire community through active participation and innovative services at the levels you desire.
