contents Using Curriculum Mapping to Understand Information Literacy in Political Science Curricula Brea Henson Information Literacy Library Instruction Concept Mapping Curriculum Evaluation Course Descriptions Library Administration Academic Libraries Political Science Fundamental Concepts Educational Objectives Librarian Teacher Cooperation Cooperative Planning This study presents curriculum mapping of noncore course offerings in political science curricula by an early-career librarian. It combines syllabi study and curriculum mapping methods to analyze the language of student learning objectives (SLOs) from course syllabi and to integrate SLOs with threshold concepts from the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education and the AAC&U Information Literacy VALUE Rubric. The methods produce two sample sets: one of core concept representation and the other of additional observances for syllabi improvements. Results analyze the frequency and percentage distributions of threshold concepts in SLOs. The author outlines strategies for engaging faculty in information literacy and suggests how librarians and faculty might inform information literacy teaching in the department.
