Information Literacy 175 Course Objectives

1. Define information literacy, grasping the concept of an information need and the necessary steps required in the research process.

2. Select a topic aligning with one's academic interests that addresses an information need, considering the topic's scope and the means to narrow or broaden       it.

3. Develop search terms that articulate one's topic into a query, discovering the necessity of synonyms and revising them where appropriate. 

4. Identify, locate, and evaluate reliable information, addressing the prominence of mis/disinformation, performing lateral research, and breaking down the              CRAAP test.

5. Demonstrate an understanding of artificial intelligence and its use and challenges in academic research.

6. Use and cite information resources ethically and legally in the digital age, facing the ubiquity of artificial intelligence and entering and valuing the academic          conversation.
