WELCOME TO INFORMATION LITERACY
AND INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES (ILIS)
The mission of the program of Information
Literacy and Instructional Services is to encourage the
development of effective research and information literacy skills in individuals. We define information literacy as
the "ability to recognize
when information is needed and the ability to locate, evaluate, and
use effectively the needed information" (American
Library Association, Presidential Committee on Information Literacy.
Final Report, 1989). We offer
general orientations to the library, course-specific research instruction
and workshops. For more information please contact
