Congratulations to the graduating class of the 2024 Information Literacy Scholars program!
Guided by the dedicated staff of Smathers Libraries, participants in the 6-week program learned about the importance of Information Literacy and how to discover, evaluate, and use information ethically and effectively to become a responsible steward of knowledge. This culminated in a presentation on a chosen topic, grounded in fact-based, current research.
