Online Learning for Information Literacy: Home

Information literacy is the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning.

For more information, view the Association of College & Research Libraries' Framework for Information Literacy.

Forms of Support

Librarians are happy to discuss how we can best support you. Some options include:

• Asynchronous class support: tutorials, videos, exercises you can use in class, etc.
• Synchronous class support : in-person or online session used in combination with tutorials or videos
• Research consultations: individual research consultations in combination with tutorials or videos and exercises

Various combinations may be appropriate for your class. If you would like to talk about your course and assignment goals, we can provide recommendations on relevant tutorials and exercises. Or, if we don't have something that covers what you have in mind, we will make it.

Schedule a Class Session (Asynchronous or Synchronous)

If you would like to have a session with a librarian or discuss other options, please use our online request form. A librarian will contact you shortly.

Discuss Ideas with a Librarian

Depending on your course and assignment-level goals, various combinations of tutorials and asynchronous or synchronous time with a librarian may be appropriate.

If you'd like to schedule a time to discuss options, please email reflib@gettysburg.edu. A librarian will be in touch to schedule a conversation. If you've collaborated with a specific librarian, feel free to reach out to them directly via email.

For general inquiries about options and logistics, feel free to reach out to:
