Schedule Library Instruction

DACC Librarians can create information literacy instruction tailored to your assignment and/or learning outcomes, and content can be delivered in-person, online, and via Canvas.

We teach students how to:

• define their topic and formulate a research query
• distinguish various information sources
• search for information across knowledge platforms
• evaluate sources for credibility and authority
• incorporate their research into their assignment
• cite their research properly
• avoid plagiarism
• find important library resources in the discipline

DACC Library helps create Information Literate students who can find, evaluate, and utilize information ethically and effectively via our multi-faceted library instruction program. During a three-year assessment of library instruction at 200 colleges and universities entitled Assessment in Action: Academic Libraries and Student Success (AiA) the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) found powerful evidence of the contributions academic libraries make to student learning in four key areas:

• Students benefit from library instruction in their initial coursework.
• Library use increases student success (e.g., GPA, course grades, retention).
• Collaborative academic programs and services involving the library enhance student learning.
• Information literacy instruction strengthens general education outcomes.
