Current INTD 105 Information Literacy Outcomes

For each INTD 105 library session, Milne librarians will create unique classroom experiences which achieve the library outcomes stated below. Additional sessions may cover additional outcomes agreed upon by the librarian and the course instructor.

INTD 105 Goals and objectives were developed with reference to the ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education

Goal I: Select resources appropriate for assignments by being able to differentiate between scholarly, popular and trade materials.

Students will be able to

  1. Identify characteristics of a popular, scholarly or trade publication (online or in print).
  2. Define "peer-reviewed" as a subset within scholarly resources (and recognize that some scholarly journals are not peer-reviewed).
  3. Select a scholarly journal article from a group of articles.

Goal II: Access an assortment of resources available in various formats and locations.

Students will be able to:

  1. Identify the format of a resource from a results list (such as print books, e-books, online articles, print articles, book reviews, websites, multimedia, etc.)
  2. Demonstrate an understanding of the physical location of print and multimedia resources in Milne Library.
  3. Demonstrate an understanding of how to access materials electronically through databases, and other online mediums.
  4. Understand how and determine when to request items through IDS.

Goal III: Promote the use of appropriate resources and services to satisfy student research needs.

Students will be able to:

  1. Determine appropriateness of using multidisciplinary and/or subject-specific databases.
  2. Identify recommended databases, reference sources, web sites, etc. pertaining to a specific subject (e.g. through Resources by Subject pages, myCourses, etc.).
  3. Understand what content can be found in WorldCat Local.
  4. Have an awareness of available help (self-service and mediated) - i.e. writing, citing, research, ask a librarian, consultations, IM, library web site, etc.

These goals and objectives were revised and adopted by Milne Librarians on September 3, 2009.
