Information literacy is an important skill for everyone. Whether learning in-person or online, students need to know how to:

- Evaluate when a source is or is not appropriate to use
- Critically analyze statistics and other types of information
- Apply information to scholarly pursuits and workplace endeavors
- Properly cite sources
Librarians are expert researchers and we are glad to help!
