From small step to giant leap in research ability.
Abstract
Undergraduate students have access to enormous amounts of information yet often fail to understand how to locate and use information effectively and ethically. This article describes a unique collaboration that embeds the five information competencies in a specific course and delivers instruction in information literacy from both the content faculty and the librarian. Embedding the information competencies into the curriculum transforms a complex process into a series of small achievable steps and delivers instruction at the student's point of need, resulting in improved information literacy.
