  3. Information Literacy Progress & Best Practice sweeney@njit.edu Richard Sweeney 973-596-3208 12/16/2009 Information Literacy (IL) Instruction It is the responsibility of the individual academic departments to ensure that every undergraduate within existing required courses obtains the necessary instruction in the eight IL outcomes described in this plan. Generally, IL instruction shall occur as part of required courses within each major so that IL is embedded across the NJIT curriculum. Institute Information Literacy Plan

  4. Information Literacy Progress & Best Practice sweeney@njit.edu Richard Sweeney 973-596-3208 12/16/2009 There are 8 required NJIT outcomes or IL competencies. Institute Information Literacy Plan

  5. Information Literacy Progress & Best Practice sweeney@njit.edu Richard Sweeney 973-596-3208 12/16/2009 Middle States Compliance

  6. Information Literacy Progress & Best Practice sweeney@njit.edu Richard Sweeney 973-596-3208 12/16/2009 Middle States Compliance

  8. Information Literacy Progress & Best Practice sweeney@njit.edu Richard Sweeney 973-596-3208 12/16/2009 The NJIT Library has created an Information Literacy forum that includes an IL Blog and a website for sharing best practices and information about information literacy. Information Literacy Blog

  9. Information Literacy Progress & Best Practice sweeney@njit.edu Richard Sweeney 973-596-3208 12/16/2009 The Information Literacy Blog allows faculty to share plans, ideas, syllabi, assignments, assessments, podcasts, etc. so that other faculty do not have to “reinvent the wheel.” Information Literacy Blog

  10. Information Literacy Progress & Best Practice sweeney@njit.edu Richard Sweeney 973-596-3208 12/16/2009 Any Faculty member or librarian may create a post to the Information Literacy Blog. Ask your Librarian Liaison for how to be authenticated. Information Literacy Blog
