Library Toolbox for Faculty and Staff

The following is a sampling of existing information literacy learning objects that can be customized and/or embedded into online courses or webpages:

• Information Literacy Learning Object Menu - Empire-based and librarian-selected non-Empire content organized by topic and skill level
• Course Guides (examples) - Work with a librarian to design a one-stop shop for all the relevant online readings, databases and research resources for your course.
• Research and Library Skills Self-Assessment Quiz - Assign this quick way for students to identify areas where they need to improve (and get instant feedback).
• Research Skills Tutorial - Assign specific modules of this text- and video-based, self-paced course covering all aspects of the research process (includes quizzes and a research portfolio).
• Library Scavenger Hunt - Students become familiar with using the library and some of the help resources and services available.
• Plagiarism Resources and Quizzes - Both faculty and students can find resources on the academic integrity webpage.
