Goal of Library Instruction:
The purpose of library
instruction is to teach individuals the concepts of accessing and
evaluating information through the wide range of resources and
technologies available to them. Library instruction programs
include: classes related to course assignments, workshops on the
databases and Internet and individual consultations(TRAP.) Students
will learn to gather information in all formats and using critical
thinking decide on the most effective way to use this information.
The ultimate goal is to foster individuals to be "information
literate." An "information literate" person is described as "one who
can recognize when information is needed and has the ability to
locate, evaluate and effectively use the needed information.... They
are people prepared for life long learning, because they can always
find the information needed for any task or decision at hand."
