Information Literacy

Mission Statement

Hannon Library is dedicated to helping members of the university and the broader community find, understand, and use information thoughtfully and responsibly. We believe that these skills are essential for academic success, informed citizenship, and lifelong learning.

Guided by the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, we support learning experiences that encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of how information is created, shared, and valued. We help individuals explore questions, evaluate sources, and create and share information ethically in a variety of contexts.

The information literacy instruction program at Hannon Library takes a variety of forms:

  • Library research sessions
  • Assistance at our Research Help desk
  • One-on-one research consultations
  • Credit-bearing library and information science courses

Through instruction, collaboration, and outreach, we aim to support all learners in an ever-changing information landscape.
