Reoccurring Spring 2023 Information Literacy Event: Info Bites

by University Library on 2023-01-30T18:16:00-06:00 in News, Research Tools and Strategies | 0 Comments

During the "Info Bites" events each month, Xavierites will explore how academics use and produce information to advance their scholarship skills as consumers and creators. Having brought this idea to XULA Library from the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Emily Bufford, the new First-year Experience Librarian, will lead each workshop. Bufford hopes to help students become better writers, researchers, and scholars by explaining and bringing alive each of ACRL’s information literacy guidelines.

The following set of abilities are what ACRL uses to define information literacy:

  • Finding quality information
  • Evaluating information for accuracy
  • Understanding the value of information
  • Using research to create new information
  • Knowing how to give credit to other thinkers

Consecutive attendance is not necessary as each workshop focuses on a different information literacy skill. Snacks such as chips, candy, and water will be provided. The 45-minute events will take place in the library on the second floor near the large TV monitor on Wednesday February 8th, March 22nd, April 5th, April 19th, and May 3rd at 5:00 p.m.
