From College to the "Real World": How Information Works

In this Capstone course, students will explore all manner of information needs and learn about the ways different types of information are produced and disseminated. Students will analyze how—as users and producers of information themselves—they can best navigate, evaluate, and manage information and research processes. Students will learn about how information and evidence are handled in a range of academic/professional disciplines. Students will research, select, synthesize, revise, and publish information about knowledge practices in a discipline of their choosing. Together, the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy and a semester-long capstone research project will serve as the organizing principles for the semester.
