Multiple infolit audiences. (Gelman Library)

Since 2003, information literacy has been incorporated into the learning objectives for the freshmen writing course, required of all students. We are also targeting senior thesis courses, currently in the disciplines of history and American studies. We are continuing to update our pedagogy. This has recently included an investigation of how to incorporate gaming theory in our instruction. We are also reaching out to the campus community through a partnership with Disability Support Services and are investigating a collaboration with the Multicultural Student Services Office. Gelman Librarians also reach into the community through instruction for students from a local high school.

Facebook provides link for students who ignore the library’s home page. (Gelman Library)

Our instructors actively use Facebook to support student learning. The most positive reactions they report from students are for information about library services. The GW Facebook page pretty much replicates the GW Libraries home page. They argue that this is worth the effort, because it reaches students who don’t use the libraries’ home page.
