Because there's stuff we don't know

Student Engagement
Students succeed when they engage with learning inside and outside the classroom.
Students succeed when they get to grapple with real, relevant problems and issues.
To succeed at OSU, and after they leave OSU, they must be information literate.
Most students don't come here with these skills.
Our information landscape is increasingly complex.
Finding some information is easier than ever.
Ironically, because finding some information is easier than ever.
Finding some information is easier than ever.
Finding good information is hard.
Most of them have never learned how to take the next step, and find the stuff worth learning from.
And it's not necessarily easier working with library resources.
Our students can find articles in newsletters from activist groups in New Zealand.
Articles from journals owned by less than 10 libraries in all of the U.S.
Our students have access to the world, but they don't always know what they've found.
OSU Undergraduate Information Literacy Competencies
Students who have mastered a reflective, recursive research process.
Students who can effectively navigate our increasingly complex information landscape.
OSU Undergraduate Information Literacy Competencies
What an information literate OSU graduate can do.
Big goals - Lofty goals.
Students who have mastered a reflective, recursive research process.
Students who can effectively navigate our increasingly complex information landscape.
Collaboration = Shared Goals
Not saying anything you don't already know.
The process of developing the competencies confirmed what we already knew -- that
1. We can't do this alone, in our library sessions. IL must be embedded throughout the curriculum.
2. Faculty are already doing these things. Already helping students learn from information.
OSU Instruction Librarians can help.
An Information Literate OSU Graduate:
- Recognizes when they need information.
- Finds information efficiently.
- Learns from information gathered.
- Uses information effectively and ethically.
