University of Texas Libraries Curricular Collaboration – Information Literacy and the Freshmen Core Curriculum
History of Freshman Curricular Integration at UT-Austin(aka How We Used to Do It) • Programs • Freshmen Seminars (aka First-year Seminars) • Rhetoric & Composition • Freshmen Interest Groups • Problems with our Approach • Who are we reaching? • What are we teaching?
Freshman Curricular Integration Today: Signature Courses • 1. Format – seminar and lecture • Six common elements • Interdisciplinary and contemporary content • Information literacy • Oral communication • Writing • Gems of the University • University Lecture Series • 3. Taught by distinguished faculty
Integrating into the Signature Courses (aka How did we get in?) • Our approach (Commission of 125, Faculty Council, Dean buy-in) • Learning outcomes • What we learned • Keep an eye on what is happening at the state and university/college level • Don’t wait to be invited to the table • Leverage existing faculty relationships • Think about what faculty care most about, which might not always be what librarians care most about
Supporting the Signature Courses(aka So now that we are in, what do we do?) • Customize approach by course and faculty member • Approaches include: • Train the TA • Instruction sessions • Exercises and/or guides • Course consultation • Tutorials
What We’ve Learned • Constant promotion is necessary • How to do more with the same staff and still get to go home at night (Self-service and letting go) • Assess and tweak constantly
