Springfield College received a grant from the Davis Educational Foundation in 2007 to further information literacy in upper-level undergraduate science courses. Two groups of faculty, one in 2007-08 and the other in 2008-09, have been working with Babson Library and their peers to integrate information literacy skills, standards and concepts into their courses.

We will be continuing our work in 2009-2010 by focusing on integrating information literacy across the entire curriculum of two of our academic majors: Athletic Training and Computer Science.

The 2008 Summer Institute was held at the Brennan Center and Babson Library in May, 2008. Below is the schedule for the workshop.

• Computer Project Rubric

• Example of Grading Rubrics

• Information Literacy in the Real World (PowerPoint)

• Infusing Information Literacy into Your Class (PowerPoint)

• SAILS Overview (PowerPoint)

• Summer Institute 2007 (PowerPoint)
