Description from Academic Impressions: Many first-year programs incorporate information literacy peripherally; the highest impact, however, comes from making it an integral part of the first-year curriculum. In this webcast, expert instructors will showcase how two institutions have developed successful information literacy programs while providing information and advice on the following:
*How to utilize librarians in curriculum planning
*Creating research-based learning outcomes that address information literacy
*Ways to develop authentic and engaging research experiences and assignments for first-year students
