Information Literacy Modules 

Welcome! Whether your instructor has required that you complete these modules, you're seeking guidance on a current research project, or you're simply curious about information literacy, we hope you'll find these modules useful. There are six modules in all; as you work through them, you'll find learning games for review as well as boxes containing questions to guide your research project. At the end of each module is a quiz to test your understanding og the concepts covered in the module. If you've been assigned these modules as a class assignment, make sure you understand how your instructor wants you to keep track of your responses to the "Guiding Your Research" questions and/or the quizzes at the end of the modules. Let's get started!
