Online Integration of Information Literacy in an Environmental Management Systems Course

Abstract

Recognizing the value, as expressed by the Association of College and Research Libraries Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, of incorporating information literacy [IL] instruction into a subject discipline, LSU Libraries partnered with the instructor of an environmental management course to develop online IL instruction with direct tie-ins to the subject matter of the course. This chapter discusses the results of that effort, including the advantages and problems encountered.
