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