WNY /O A C RL NEWS LETTER Hare, current senior student at Geneseo, was one of the students involved in the original experimental anthropology course, and now works as a reference assistant at Milne Library. Davies and Kintz describe student engagement in an experimental anthropology course and the path that professor and librarian have taken to perfect their approach over the past few years. Combining unique contributions of librarians, professor, and students, information literacy skills are designed to connect course content and the enhancement of student research. To promote a successful library instruction program, librarians and administrators rely heavily on the systematic results seen on an individual class level. Preliminary assessments, student feedback, and continuous readjustment of course content, pedagogical approach to that content, and meaningful activities aid in fostering positive improvements in students’ understanding of the research process.
