Information Literacy
“Information literacy is the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning.”
(Association of College and Research Libraries Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, 2016)
Research Assistance
Library staff is available during all scheduled library hours to answer your reference questions, help you find books and articles, and check out and renew your items. Come in or call us with your questions and we will help you use the online library catalog and online databases. We will arrange for interlibrary loans of items from other college libraries as well as intercampus loans of items from our own campus libraries. Ask us for subject and research guides that will help you with your assignments. Computers and printers are available at all campus libraries.
