Anders, Kathy Christie Information Literacy Introductory Courses Writing (Composition) English Curriculum Librarian Teacher Cooperation Undergraduate Students Library Instruction Scores Writing Instruction Instructional Effectiveness Freshman Composition This study assessed student research papers using a rubric to determine the information literacy skills of students in introductory composition classes. Librarians taught a pilot composition course that infused information literacy (IL) into the traditional English curriculum. The students' IL skills were compared to those of undergraduates enrolled in a traditional composition class, who received only a one-shot library instruction session. Students in the information literacy composition course scored better than their counterparts in six of seven IL skill categories. Results support greater integration of information literacy and composition curricula as a path forward for student success. |
