addition of the library instructional activity in similarsenior-level capstone laboratories. The improvements seen in both the test and control groupswith regards to the ethical use of information may suggest that the promotion of assignmentspecific research guides created through a collaboration with the instructor and librarian could bevaluable even without in-class instruction. This could work well for courses that have limitedability to adjust the curriculum, but where the students need improvement in sources or ethicaluse of information.However, there are factors to be considered before attempting implementation of informationfluency instruction. An initial assessment should be used to help focus the instructional activities.The disparity in

Duringspring semester 2017, the information literacy team at the Colorado School of Mines piloted aflipped lesson on evaluating sources for the university’s first year engineering design course.Initial feedback on the pilot session was favorable and the

Information for Non-Engineers – A Case Study in Interdisciplinary Application of the ACRL FrameworkAs Washington State University becomes increasingly interdisciplinary, the need is increasingfor collaboration between librarians and instructors to introduce non-engineering students totechnical literature. Understanding technical literature is challenging even for the very engineerswho are versed in the vocabulary and procedures of their discipline. Hence, training non-engineer students to use this literature is a substantial challenge. Over the course of several years,the ACRL framework for information literacy in higher education has been integrated into theengineering curriculum. Over this time several core lessons have emerged: 1

arepurchased automatically with or without staff mediation or oversight as long as pre-determined funds are still available. Implementation of a DDA program requires specialconsideration of specific criteria, such as the types of access permitted, the ease withwhich DDA title records integrate with the local cataloging and acquisition processes, thenumber and educational level of titles included in the pool, and whether or not interlibraryloan (ILL) is allowed [5]. This complex activity requires collaboration between severallibrary departments [3].The DDA model represents a profound shift from a “just in case” to a “just in time”approach to library collection development where users play an active role in the selectionprocess. The increased users

Building on universities’ increasinglyrecognized and integral support for Information Literacy, comes the realization that SpatialLiteracy should be another of those skills that should be taught at the tertiary level.
