Faculty Resources
YOU can help the LINC-on program be successful by integrating information literacy into your courses. You probably touch on some aspects of information literacy in what you already teach. The resources here can help you help us make information literacy really flourish in our students here at LMU!

The Standards: Step-by-Step: As you probably know, the LINC-on plan is based on the IL standards developed by ACRL (Need, Find, Evaluate, Use, Ethics). This page gives a detailed breakdown of the standards and includes suggestions for teaching and learning activities that address specific performance indicators and learning outcomes. Lots of good tips here!
For the J. Frank White Academy
Information literacy is important for all levels including, of course, K-12 education.
Information Literacy Standards for Student Learning: These standards are very similiar to the ACRL ones used for higher education, but recast to fit the particular needs of pre-college students.
