Becker, Jill K.Reed, MichelleGamble, StephanieLeung, Sofia2017-03-132017-03-132016https://hdl.handle.net/1808/23403The 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 requires students to bring in sources on an assigned topic. Students participate in a discussion on authority as a criteria for evaluating sources in both academic and non-academic contexts and discuss the value of the sources they’ve found. Day three consists of an active-learning game where students practice evaluating sources for markers of authority in scenarios with both academic and non-academic information needs. Finally, the unit ends with an exam that requires students to apply what they learned throughout the unit to a new situation.
