Charting a New Course for Information Literacy at York

Over the course of the summer of 2005, York‘s librarians came together to develop a common vision and plan for library teaching and instructional efforts. Impetus for this exercise came as a result of the increasing demand for library instruction from faculty members and students, and as result of the strong support for our Information Literacy program in the University’s most recent Academic Plan. The UAP notes the critical importance of libraries to the research infrastructure of the university and the importance of access to professional librarians to provide intensified instruction in information literacy competencies to faculty and students alike.
