Library Instruction Mission Statement
The TCC Library Instruction Program provides timely and responsive academic support for students, faculty, and staff by teaching and promoting information literacy, collecting relevant materials in the most useful formats, and providing access to educational technology.
The Library Program's Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the program, the student will be able to:
- Employ strategic processes of inquiry to guide and refine information needs and search strategies (IIT, COK).
- Select appropriate sources based upon information need and context (CRT, IIT, COK).
- Use information ethically by citing sources in a standard citation style, with minimal errors (IIT, RES, COK).
- Practice synthesizing information from more than one source into a new information product in preparation for future academic work. (COM, CRT, IIT, ICD, RES, COK)
- Demonstrate the effective use of electronic search strategies (IIT, COK).
Each outcome is mapped to TCC's degree learning outcomes (DLOs), which can be found here:
