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