Abstract
In Spring 2013, we collaborated with the UK Biology Department to create, teach, and assess course-integrated information literacy sessions for 17 BIO 155 sections, reaching 462 students once a week for two weeks (thus 34 sessions reaching 934 attendees). We experimented with a “train-the-trainer” model, providing an introductory session to TAs, then alternating librarian-led sections and TA-led sections. We taught in a Macbook lab, using mini presentations mixed with active instruction and tools such as PollEverywhere and Course Guides. We assessed the information literacy concepts learned using a Google Docs survey. We will share our challenges and successes initiating this program.
