Science literacy: a collaborative approach.
Abstract
Timely topics in microbiology were used to engage students in a non-science majors microbiology course designed to introduce the principles of biology and the role of microorganisms in nature and human affairs, as well as to develop an understanding of the scientific process. A learner-centered outcome-based library component for this class, based on the principles of teaching information literacy, was developed collaboratively by the microbiology professor and the science librarian, in order to compel students to think critically about information sources.
