"Information literacy
is a set of abilities requiring individuals to "recognize
when information is needed and have the ability to locate,
evaluate, and use effectively the needed information."
The Library Instruction Program provides library instruction
(formal and informal) based upon the needs of students,
faculty, and staff. The mission of instructional services
is to promote
effective use of library resources and technology. Instruction
is presented through lectures and demonstrations to respond
to the total educational process of the academic community.
The F.D. Bluford Library Instruction Program's goals and
objectives incorporate the Association of College and Research
Libraries (ACRL) Information Literacy Competency Standard's
with various teaching strategies and methodologies designed
to meet the individual differences in learning, including
level, style, and culture.
