INFORMATION LITERACY RESOURCES McKee Library’s information literacy team offers a variety of in-person and virtual resources to meet the academic needs of the campus community.
Effective research assignments help your students develop appropriate information literacy skills, think critically, and responsibly use web resources. A librarian can partner with you to think through an assignment from a research skills perspective, verify if the resources needed to complete the assignment are available at the library, and arrange in-class or online research support for your students. Information Literacy Class Sessions Librarians provide information literacy instruction for on campus, hybrid, and online courses. Topics include research methods, navigating the library’s website, locating resources, and evaluating web resources. To request an instruction session for your course, contact Katie McGrath at kmcgrath@southern.edu or complete the online form. Embedded Librarian Service The embedded librarian service is a collaboration providing information literacy instruction through physical and/or electronic resources directly in eClass. The collaboration can be for the duration of a research based assignment or for the entire course. Each and every collaboration is unique and represents the distinct research needs of the course. This service works well for distance education courses and courses with research assignments that require the use of outside sources. Please contact Jessica Spears at jspears@southern.edu for more information or to request the service for your course(s). Virtual Information Literacy Modules McKee Library is pleased to offer web-based, selfpaced information literacy modules which can be

Tutorials include text, activities, and ungraded self-check points.
