Sneak Attack: Getting Information onto Faculty Agendas
Diane VanderPol, University of Nevada at Las Vegas
Thursday, May 8, 2003 from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Sneak Attach PowerPoint slides
Successful information literacy programs need buy-in and collaboration from teaching faculty. Use faculty's pre-existing priorities to get information literacy skills development for students onto faculty agendas. Faculty report concerns about plagiarism and their students' inability to select quality information resources. Take advantage of these concerns to pitch information literacy programming as a solution rather than as another add-on to their loads. Use the pre-existing faculty task of assignment design as a vehicle to reinforce the ease with which information literacy skills development can be incorporated as a solution rather than a burden.
Audience: Academic Librarians and public librarians
