When There's No Information Literacy Requirement: Curriculum Mapping to Drive Engagement
Monica V. Locker; Jennifer L. A. Whelan
College & Research Libraries, v85 n2 p254-266 2024
Curriculum mapping provides valuable opportunities for internal reflection and external advocacy in academic libraries. Librarians at a small liberal-arts college developed a curriculum mapping project designed to measure information literacy interventions with students, despite a lack of a standardized set of courses that all students take over the course of their tenure. The project incorporated both quantitative scoring and qualitative reflections by liaison librarians to determine the extent of information literacy-focused engagements with students and allowed librarians to target interventions in a way that was designed to reach as many students as possible during their undergraduate careers.
