Information Literacy Development of Undergraduate Political Science Student Researchers: The Instruction Librarian’s Role

It may be surprising to find a librarian’s perspective in this volume. Most librarians do not have teaching responsibility for credit-bearing courses, but many librarians and teaching faculty experience a professional partnership centered on student success. Teaching faculty are responsible for planning and executing lessons and developing assignments so that students can learn. Librarians are responsible not only for supplying academic resources that support course instruction, but also for training students to locate, evaluate, and effectively use those resources. Many librarians are also teachers of information literacy. This chapter examines current information literacy standards and frameworks for undergraduate political science programs as well as various teaching modalities employed by librarians to develop information literacy skills in students.
