Librarians and Faculty as Partners: Collaboration at Work

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.
