Instruction Upon the request of course instructors,
librarians provide customized library instruction sessions designed to help
students complete course assignments and improve students' information
competency skills.
Information Competency
In support of its Mission, the Palomar College Library collaborates with
faculty from various academic departments to assess and improve students'
information competency skills. WASC defines information competency as the
"capability to access, evaluate, and use information in fulfillment of
coursework and independent study." (ACCJC/WASC
Accreditation Standards).

set of information competency learning outcomes to assess library
