What?People, especially students, are in different places at different times in their lives in terms of dealing with information. The following are a few questions developed to encourage you to consider what your assignment has to do with using information. While working with assignments, delivering the final product to your instructor is important but recognizing the process you follow to get to the end goal is also critical. A little awareness and effort turned toward improving your information handling skills and techniques along the way will develop your ability to think critically about problems and projects, become more efficient and proficient when gathering and using information and broadens your options when you attempt to bring meaning to raw data.
Why?Currently we share a time and place in which knowledge is a commodity that can give or take the edge away from people in both their personal and professional lives. Throughout your college life, at home and in the workplace you will be asked to find information, use information, interpret information, analyze information, transfer information, and everything in between as part of other things you are expected or required to do. The library information instructors work with course instructors across the curriculum to design and deliver information related activities, events, projects and general assignments that relate to the curriculum and general education requirements for college course participants.
