Information Literacy
To achieve the goal of an information literate individual, the Information Literacy Program at D'Amour Library offers a modular workshop approach. The individual modules of the Program respond to the information literacy requirement of the General University Requirements and the Information Literacy Framework endorsed by the Association of College and Research Libraries. These modules also address the students' developmental progression from first year student through graduate student, where they have repeat opportunities to seek, evaluate and manage information at various academic levels and with various discipline based sources.
