Instruction @ the LWLC

When you add a session to the IL calendar, please be sure to include the following information, as well as a location: Your last name, the instructor's last name, and the course number (Platt/Smith LPL 775). We need this information for our statistics.
Make sure that an Infomation Literacy Request Form is submitted for each individual session. Each form allows up to three entries for the same course.
Request a 2-week notice from teaching faculty for IL sessions to give yourself time to prepare a high-quality session.
Inform teaching faculty that we tailor our sessions to address their immediate concerns and the concerns of their students, so IL sessions are much more effective when scheduled for a research assignment.
Full class times are recommended (but not required) for IL sessions to allow students to fully engage with new concepts and new methods. Multiple sessions for classes are also an option.
IL sessions may be taught in the Information Literacy Classroom (room #570) or in the classroom/computer lab of the course instructor.
Update your availability on LibCal regularly so that faculty and students can easily schedule meetings with you, if needed.

Use the Information Literacy Session Plan Form to develop your library instruction session in consultation with the course’s instructor.

Use a pre-test and post-test to measure student learning in your information literacy sessions. Make sure to include the same items/questions on both tests to get an accurate understanding of student learning in your classes.

If you need tips on how to create pre-tests and post-tests, please let me know: jplatt@alasu.edu.
