You may think that library instruction is something only for freshmen and College Writing courses or that "digital natives" already know how to do research. However, in a 2016 study released by Stanford History Education Group, researchers found a consistent, “dismaying inability by students to reason about information they see on the Internet" from middle school to college. Library instruction encourages students to think critically and understand the complexity of research in today's rapidly changing information landscape.
Librarians teach information literacy concepts for academic and everyday use as a means of empowering the university community to be reflective users and creators of information. Our instruction goals align with the Institutional Learning Outcomes. Examples of common library instruction topics include:
Following the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education definition, “information literacy is the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning.”
Since Spring 2016, the Research & Outreach Services team has collected library instruction data in the form of the 3-2-1 Assessment. The 2017 report is currently available on the Assessment at UW-Green Bay page.
The Schneider National Foundation Library Research Lab (CL 304, Cofrin Library, Green Bay campus) contains 18 student PCs, one instructor PC, two projectors, and a Sharp Aquos Display board. The room can comfortably seat 24-35 students.
A daily schedule is posted outside of CL 304.
Contact the Research Desk to reserve CL 304 for a purpose other than library instruction. Please keep in mind the following guidelines:
