More and more accreditation bodies are insisting on information literacy skills as part of a student’s education skill set. When it comes to performing research, what is your students’ level of proficiency?

In helping students develop their research skills, faculty have an opportunity to bring about this important outcome by tapping the knowledge of their institution’s library staff. Librarians have many experiences to share, and they can use their expertise to help students determine which sources are available at the beginning of a research assignment, how to find specific sources, and how to better understand what can be gained in conducting research in general and on a particular topic.

If you’re interested in strengthening your students’ research skills and information literacy as they move toward graduation and eventually into their careers, you won’t want to miss this seminar. This is one of Magna's most popular seminars because it provides vital information for developing your students’ research capabilities.

Led by two accomplished higher education librarians, Marilyn Steinberg and Kari Mofford, Faculty and Librarians as Partners provides helpful tips and experience-based insights and best practices to assist you with strengthening your students’ research skills and information literacy.

During this content-rich seminar, Steinberg and Mofford give you the full benefit of their extensive experience so you will be able to:
• Better understand concepts of faculty-librarian collaboration regarding informational literacy competencies.
• Plan successful collaborations that can be incorporated into everyday classroom experiences.
• Implement specific tips and techniques for classroom collaborations between faculty and librarians.
• Outline broad information literacy competencies that students should be able to demonstrate prior to graduating.
• Build rubrics to evaluate students’ use of source material.
• Suggest changes or improvements to students related to completing future assignments.
• Implement firm plagiarism standards and discuss these standards with students.
