Information competency is a set of skills students need acquire in order to become effective learners and researchers. It is a required component for all GE courses and is recommended for other courses.  One way of integrating information competency into your curriculum is by providing a library research assignment for your students - a joint effort between you and a librarian.

How do I add this to my course?
