Information Literacy Toolkit: Resource for Teaching Faculty

This guide is intended to support University of Maryland faculty, instructors, and teaching assistants in incorporating information literacy into their courses.

Focus Area

UNIV100: First Year Experience

Each year, the University of Maryland Libraries teach information literacy sessions for nearly 20,000 students. The anchor of our teaching program is the partnership between the UMD Libraries and the Academic Writing Program (ENGL101). The Libraries is embedded into the syllabus in ENGL101 and we see about 90-95% of the sections for information literacy instruction. Because there is so much overlap between students taking ENGL101 and UNIV100, we do not typically offer information literacy instruction to our UNIV100 courses. Instead, we offer a selection of curated resources that you can integrate into your UNIV100 course at the moment that feels right for your students. Feel free to use any of the resources in this guide, or start with the items below:
