4. Project Overview 
The University of Kansas Libraries’ staff utilized the “Authority is Constructed and Contextual” frame from ACRL Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education to develop a three-day information literacy unit that is integrated into the university’s first-year experience courses. Day one of the unit consists of an information cycle activity where each student analyzes a different source type. Day two consists of a presentation and discussion on authority as a criteria for evaluating sources in both academic and non-academic contexts and an active-learning game where students practice evaluating sources for markers of authority in scenarios with both academic and non-academic information needs. Day three requires students to bring in sources on an assigned topic and discuss the value of their sources. Finally, the unit ends with an exam that requires students to apply what they learned throughout the unit to a new situation. Project files for the game referenced in Section 2 of the manual are available via KU ScholarWorks at https://kuscholarworks.ku.edu/handle/1808/21508.
