Next Generation Library Tutorials for the Academic Setting

The University of Washington Libraries is currently creating a next-generation series of Web-based tools for teaching information fluency concepts in an academic setting. What makes UW’s approach noteworthy is that the tools will be part of a database-driven Web application, allowing instructors to edit, create, or enhance the tool’s content. Faculty and librarians will be able to insert discipline-specific examples and other content into the tutorials, helping to bridge the span between standardized, transferable content and the specific objectives of a course or assignment. This dynamic will allow more seamless incorporation of the learning content for information competencies into other domain content of a course. By reaching outside the libraries to faculty of many disciplines, the UW Information Literacy Learning (UWILL) group is hoping to incorporate the learning of basic information-based research skills with specific curriculum elements of coursework.
