Course Objectives n Learn to use appropriate tools for identifying and locating potential sources of information. n Develop and use a variety of search strategies. n Gain hands-on experiences in information literacy practices.

Instead of the traditional model of relying on “omniscience” of teachers, students will begin the practice of resource-based learning where they will actively seek out, evaluate, and synthesize knowledge from a variety of resources. Information literacy, which facilitates such type of learning, will allow each student to become a lifelong learner who can fulfill the information need in a way that best suits his or her abilities, interest, and experiences. i-Literacy 3
