Introduction
Information literacy is essential to becoming an informed citizen, critical thinker, and lifelong learner. The librarians in the Research & Learning Department of Chambers Library provide instruction and consultation services to ensure that students:
- Critically analyze the relevance, accuracy, quality, timeliness, authority, and context of information
- Develop effective and efficient strategies for finding credible information
- Identify and select sources that are appropriate for an information need
- Follow a reasonable timeline to conduct information research, assimilate and synthesize ideas, and create an academic work representative of their research
- Employ the principles of academic honesty by acknowledging the works of others through accurate citations and references
Librarians are expert researchers and we are glad to help!
