Notes & Quotes
Information Literacy
by Mary Beth Parkinson, Information Literacy Librarian
The librarians at The Brendlinger Library and West Campus Library offer assignment-related classes focusing on library research strategy and information literacy. Class sessions cover pertinent sources of information, both print and electronic; search strategies; and a demonstration of the electronic reference sources and databases.
My regular teaching colleagues at The Brendlinger Library include Robert Erb (evening only), and Ruth McNaught. Gretchen Keer, Electronic Resources Librarian; Lisa McColl, Database Management Librarian; and Lawrence Greene, Archives and Special Collections Librarian, also participate in library instruction. Teaching librarians at the West Campus Library include Margaret Forbes, the new Manager of the West Library, Terri Sharif, and Kevin Strunk. The librarians are also happy to offer one-on-one sessions with faculty to provide a personal orientation to our electronic resources.
