In particular, these courses are typically assessed for outcomes a,b, c, d, e, g, i and k. Outcome i, focused on ethical and social responsibilities, is often addressedvia the nature of the project itself. Some projects have a clear link to social issues, for instanceprojects done during 2006 – 2007 and 2005 – 2006 related to bio-fuels and physicalrehabilitation devices. Ethical issues related to design (minimizing risk of injury, etc.) are also apart of the course. Assessment of this outcome is done by direct measures (faculty observingstudent discussion or the project’s written

social issues surrounding the useof information and accesses and use information ethically and legally.The need for improved teaching of information literacy skills has been well-documented in thelast two decades. Typical of many studies, Seamans’5 survey of First-Year students shows thattheir strategies for locating information are underdeveloped. Undergraduates tend to performresearch not as exploration, but to garner support for a predetermined viewpoint. The studentssurveyed used one keyword when given an information-retrieval task, and used no Booleans,expressing reservations about their use as an unfamiliar concept. The survey also found thatstudents do not see libraries and library personnel as part of information seeking.Lecki and
