February 28th, 2017

“The best ways to teach information literacy are in the context of a course or some other learning activity. If you do it in isolation, it becomes very skills-oriented. But if students are learning about something, and the instructor has the opportunity to insert better ways of finding information or evaluating information in that learning activity, it’s more likely to stay with the student and become a habit.” — Sharon Weiner

Purdue University Libraries Interim Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and W. Wayne Booker Chair in Information Literacy Sharon Weiner is featured in an article in “The Chronicle of Higher Education” this week.

The Q&A “special report” with Weiner, “How One College Put Information Literacy Into Its Curriculum,” discusses Purdue University’s efforts to bring information literacy into the classroom through its IMPACT (Instruction Matters: Purdue Academic Course Transformation) program.

The article is available through the Purdue University Libraries’ subscription to “The Chronicle of Higher Education” and to those who have Premium-level subscriptions to the publication.
