Librarians and faculty at HT partner to teach students information literacy skills they need to succeed in critical thinking, professionalism, and communication as it relates to classroom learning and as lifelong learners.
Our aim is to create an intentional programming model that incorporates the following learning objectives:
Students will be able to…
- Locate resources to meet assignment requirements.
- Remember how to find textbooks they need through our website and in person.
- Distinguish between academic and popular resources in order to select appropriate material for their research.
- Collect information from multiple sources in order to construct and support a thesis.
- Evaluate information for relevance, currency, and accuracy in order to obtain appropriate materials for their objectives.
- Apply critical thinking skills to an unreliable information landscape in order to identify reliable information.

We do not recommend this. Instructors should be active participants in each information literacy session. This supports the importance of the concepts and allows you to answer specific questions regarding assignment expectations.
We can accommodate any of these models. Please specify on the Book a Session form above if you would prefer a virtual or in-person session.
Feedback helps us improve future information literacy sessions. Please have your students fill out this survey so we know more about what they have learned and what we should follow up on.
