The Information Literacy Embedded Experience is fulfilled through the completion of the following three information literacy components:

• the library component of the first-year writing course;
• one course with an information literacy component;

2. select and retrieve the information using a variety of methods;
3. articulate and apply criteria for evaluating the information and its sources;
4. apply new and prior information to the planning and creation of a particular product or performance;
5. communicate the product or performance effectively;
6. demonstrate an understanding of the ethical, legal, and socio-economic issues surrounding information and information technology;
7. validate the understanding and interpretation of information through discourse with other individuals, subject area experts, and/or practitioners.
