Program-level, Student-Learning Outcomes for SCC Library Instruction: Home

Students will... 

• Practice strategic processes of inquiry to find appropriate information sources 
• Evaluate information sources in order to select those appropriate for their research need 
• Following appropriate citation guidelines, ethically integrate the work of others in their own information production 
• Use library services and resources which support their information needs

Per request of the SCC Vice President of Instruction, SCC librarians created the following program-level, student-learning outcomes in Spring of 2021.

These describe the outcomes which students are expected to achieve as a result of Information Literacy (IL) instruction conducted by library faculty. The accompanying rubric describes levels of development and proficiency which students may reach.

The development of the library instruction program outcomes was informed by the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education as well as consultation with assessment and instruction leaders and stakeholders at SCC.

"Information literacy is the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning."    ACRL: Association of College and Research Libraries (2016)
