Information Literacy Program Learning Outcome 4
PLO4: Through engagement with information literacy instruction by a faculty librarian, students will articulate the key elements in their research questions in order to develop and execute a search strategy.
Below are all Classroom Activity Reports written by faculty librarians that describe activity and assessment that support PLO4 between 2013 and 2025; in 2025 the PLOs were revised and replaced with the new Information Literacy Curriculum Learning Outcomes.
Between September 2013 and June 2025 there were 127 Classroom Activity Reports that mapped to Information Literacy PLO4.
