Provost "Bear" Baker (at podium) welcomes the group. |
One of these initiatives is the Embedding Information Literacy into the Curriculum Program, a partnership with
CAFE and the
UAA/APU Consortium Library. Mini-grants were awarded to faculty to assist them in embedding information literacy into a course.
Prof. Periman was awarded a mini-grant and collaborated with justice library liaison
Prof. Page Brannon, on revisions to the course
"Legal Ethics and the Role of the Legal
Paraprofessional." They spoke to the group about the results of these revisions. The revisions included an emphasis on
library-related student research and focused on allowing students to
learn, reinforce, and master information literacy skills relevant to the
course level.
