Information Literacy

Information, Barney Moss, 2011

CCA Libraries provide instructional services and resources in support of the college’s information literacy learning outcome, including classroom instruction, library workshops, and syllabi and assignment consultations.

We are dedicated to preparing students to successfully conduct research and effectively use information in their creative and scholarly practices. To help our students hone their research skills and engage in the reflective use of information, our instructional pedagogy is grounded in active learning, engaged discussion, and problem-based inquiry.

Students can identify, locate, collect, evaluate, and effectively and responsibly mobilize information for the task at hand.

  • Select valid sources
  • Effectively apply sources based on disciplinary expectations
