SKILLS FOR LIFE
Our mission is to teach students lifelong information literacy skills.
TIPS Be alert to campus trends – know what’s going on
Especially regarding broad campus curriculum and research initiatives
Get on the committees If not invited, ask and make your case If not appointed, ask if you can attend meetings anyway If you can’t attend, how can you get updates, meeting minutes, etc.
Listen carefully when it doesn’t involve the library You’ll learn a lot of other stuff that you can use
Speak up when it does involve the library, information literacy
Speak up if information literacy is being ignored
Make contact with individuals appointed in charge of new initiatives Make yourself/your face/your name/your goals known
