Learning Outcomes
The Libraries’ learning outcomes, based on the values of our professional organizations and theories of information literacy, provide the foundation of the Libraries’ programmatic teaching and learning-related efforts. Also, these outcomes are guided by larger issues or questions that surround information consumption, handling, and creation.
