Information Literacy Toolkit

The Toolkit for Success is designed to help teachers/faculty and librarians work together to address the information literacy needs of their at-risk high school and community college students.

Teachers, faculty and librarians may use any portion of the toolkit at no charge. In order to make the most effective use of the resources, it is important that the components be integrated into the course curriculum.

While the toolkit targets at-risk students in their first year of community college, we have found that most high school and college students can benefit from assessment and instruction that focuses on basic information literacy skills.

Components

• Assessment instrument
• Teaching resources – lesson plans, assessment resources, information about learning styles, and collaboration tips
• Information Literacy Standards
• More information literacy resources
