Introduction

Welcome to the FIT Library’s Information Literacy Mini-Course which was designed to support the SUNY General Education Core Competency of Information Literacy. This resource provides flexible learning opportunities to develop essential skills for finding, evaluating, and using information effectively in academic and professional contexts.

Students: This mini-course is not a required course but may be assigned to you by your instructors either as individual modules or as a complete course experience. The content is designed to enhance your information literacy skills at your own pace or as directed by your professors.

Faculty: This course is available for you to use as you see fit to support your students’ information literacy development. You can assign individual modules, specific exercises, or utilize the content for in-class or online instruction, with a final quiz available for those who choose to assign the entire course. If you wish to modify content or build upon the content you see here, feel free to do so, or you contact the librarian of the Research and Instructional Services unit in the Library, headed by Carli Spina.
