Manifesto of intent for information literacy.

Flexible Learning - see our I.L. Manifesto for details.
http://www.library.yorku.ca/binaries/Home/ILManifesto.pdf

Goals:

• We will incorporate a flexible range of instructional modes to meet the needs of a diverse student population with varied abilities, interests and backgrounds, wherever they might be.

• We will work collaboratively to integrate generic and discipline-specific information literacy competencies into program curricula across campus. A curriculum integrated approach accommodates incremental growth in student proficiency and provides a systematic and equitable way of reaching students in a large university setting.

Assessment:

How will we know we are successful?

• When we have planned, implemented, and assessed initiatives to integrate information literacy instruction in programs across the curriculum.

• When we are able to show that students are getting systematic information literacy instruction at strategic junctures of their academic career at York.

Library resources in course management system; student portal under development.

We have developed a library module for inclusion in the Moodle course management system for courses. This is adaptable for each course. We are also developing a library "portal-ette" within the overall student portal that is being developed by the University.
