INFORMATION LITERACY

Library Resources Instruction

The Globe Institute of Technology supports the practice of Information Literacy. One-hour

Library Resources Training classes are conducted by the librarian in the Library’s Computer

Room. Course instructors participate, as well, so they can apply information literacy with

their students during the academic semester for investigative projects and weekly class

assignments, and practice information literacy independently for personal and professional

endeavors. Course instructors from other disciplines may also schedule their classes for

Library Resources Training sessions at the library by appointment. Individualized instruction

with the librarian is also available.
