“John Jay College has a commitment to developing information literacy among all students. The information literate student recognizes when information is needed, and has the ability to locate and evaluate information, and uses information effectively, legally and ethically.”
Draft glossary of academic terminology. (2006). John Jay College

John Jay library faculty are happy to help our colleagues integrate information literacy into their courses, help identify where information literacy is already integrated, and help faculty keep their information literacy skills sharp. We encourage you to contact the library liaison for your department or the information literacy librarian , Ellen Sexton esexton@jjay.cuny.edu .

Faculty developing new courses are encouraged to talk to a librarian before completing sections 9b and 13 of the New Course Proposal form and to review the rest of the material on these pages.
