The document discusses how libraries can help students improve their information literacy skills. It notes that 87% of students are information illiterate and 89% use search engines rather than library resources for research. Students tend not to interact with librarians and miss opportunities for deep learning. The author argues that developing strong information skills is important for students' success and a democratic society. The library aims to help through workshops, tutorials, and collaborating with faculty on integrating information literacy into assignments.

- 2006-2007 assessment of Historical Studies student work samples found that students met or exceeded standards in regards to research skills less than 50% of the time on all fronts: proper use of sources: 40% conducting research: 30% diversity of materials: 23%
- By the way, if you are using a research assignment where students will be coming to the library, let us know (what the assignment is and the due dates, if possible) – we can provide much more relevant help to the students if we have this information in hand.
- Other possibilities (that would probably require more librarians): Parallel to select capstone/research courses: required information literacy credit courses or add-on modules that tie directly into course term assignments? Information Skills “Bootcamps” – online or residency-style intensive studies (2 days/ 2 weeks, etc.) covering all aspect of research processes Photo via CC license by Leo Reynolds, www.flickr.com/photos/lwr/167559345/
