It’s Your Business: Evaluating the Business Curriculum to Target Information Literacy in the Discipline

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

How can librarians ensure they are meeting the information literacy needs of their Business departments and incorporate innovative practices into student learning experiences? This short article will describe techniques for developing an information literacy curriculum within a particular Major or program of study. It will chronicle how the Business librarian used the “curriculum map” technique to support this high-impact initiative for the College of Business. 

The curriculum mapping process required the analysis of Business course syllabi and the identification of relevant information literacy learning outcomes at the institutional, departmental, programmatic, and course levels. Additionally, national standards and “threshold or transformative concepts” from the Business literature were evaluated
