Abstract
Information literacy instruction is often taught in an
academic setting with academic goals in-mind.
Two librarians set out to unusual locations on-campus to catch students’
attention and demonstrate how information literacy, as a life skill, applies in
their academics, professional development, and every-day living. One program partnered with the campus
Academic Peer Mentors (APM) to reach freshmen in their residence halls and the
other connected with Eta Sigma Gamma, National Health Education Honorary. Both
programs provided a place where liaison librarians could meet with students
informally to provide instruction organically based on students’ direct
feedback.
