Information Literacy
York College Library's Information Literacy program utilizes the ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards, with the following mission and goals:
- educate students in proper use, evaluation and application of print and electronic resources
- support research assignments and the College's curriculum, academic and special programs by focused library instruction
- teach students the ethical use of information sources
- create lifelong learners
We offer one-hour Information Literacy sessions in the Library's electronic classroom, which are specifically tailored to the research assignment or project. These techniques are equally applicable to both general education and upper division courses in meeting the goals and objectives proposed by LILAC, CUNY's Library Information Literacy Advisory Council. They are taught by library faculty, many of whom have a subject specialty in a given area.
To arrange for a class, please submit an online form, or contact Coordinator of Information Literacy Scott Sheidlower at 718.262.2017.
