Our Program PlanOur Program Plan
Information Literacy Goals & Outcomes ACRL standards influence all three levels of our IL Program
“Upon completion of an Information Literacy course students will:
Critically evaluate a research problem;
Select appropriate information resources;
Use efficient techniques in searching library online catalogs, information databases, the World Wide Web, and traditional print and microform materials for research and general interest information;
Critically evaluate information for quality and appropriateness to the research problem;
Recognize bibliographic data in order to accurately cite research.”

Our Program PlanOur Program Plan
Progression of outcome development
1)Identify a skill (ex. Boolean logic techniques)
2)Find the applicable ACRL standard(s)
3)Identify appropriate level(s) of program
4)Align with program’s defined outcome
5)Decide how to best measure
6)Determine the assessment schedule
