Library

Our goal is to promote information literacy at Highline by working in partnership with departmental faculty to develop and provide instruction that is tailored to course requirements and assignments.  These efforts reflect our commitment to course-integrated, outcomes-based instruction, and assessment of student learning.

When should you consider collaborating with us for an information literacy session?

• your students are not using appropriate resources for their assignments

• your students don't understand citation standards or plagiarism issues

• your students don't know how to effectively search periodical databases or the catalog

• your students are frustrated or intimidated by their research assignments

What do you need to know about scheduling a session with the library?

• Call us x3232, email us: refhelp@highline.edu, or visit us at the desk to schedule a session.

• Advance notice and detailed information about your assignments and goals for the session will help us provide the best possible instruction.

• Classes can be held at the Information Commons in the library or in your classroom.

• Sometimes, the instructional outcomes can best be met through a short series of classes.  However, it you think your class needs more than a few sessions, we can consider creating a linked one-credit class (LIBR 105).
