World Culture and Global Issues
Information Literacy Integration
World Cultures and Global Issues courses are supported by the Libraries' subject specialists. They work collaboratively with course instructors to:
1. teach lab-based research sessions focused on: finding and evaluating information sources specific to each discipline or interdisciplinary field; knowing and using the vocabulary, concepts and theoretical framework of a discipline to identify and evaluate relevant contextual sources (historical, cultural, economic...) and new research findings; selecting specialized databases, catalogs and credible Web-based sites that provide counter-arguments, different points of view or schools of thought.
These sesslons are provided by request of faculty and are also integrally-offered to students enrolled in block programs which include 100 level core courses in this area. Block sessions are also integrated into the Eng 120 block curricula and are aligned with the subjects in each block.
