Information & Instructional Services: Information Literacy

Information Literacy Classes

Set up a time for a librarian to provide instruction to your class. Librarians will collaborate with you to create a lesson that meets the needs of the students in your course.

Let's Get Together for Information Literacy! We can help! Classes are designed to teach effective use of information resources and library services for academic research. Please submit your request for a librarian to visit your class here. Information Literacy Instruction Request Form. https://www.cedarcrest.edu/library/info-literacy-form.asp
