Scholarly Publications

Service Learning is a quickly growing movement within higher education that empowers students to utilize classroom knowledge to solve a problem or effect a change within their local community. Information Literacy is critical for getting students to understand the “why” and “how” that should ground all service learning projects.

The presentation will conclude with a summary of emerging best practices for incorporating information literacy into service learning courses.
