Infusing Information Literacy into the Core Curriculum: A Pilot Project at the University of Nevada, Reno

The easy availability of information on the World Wide Web adds urgency to the need to teach information literacy concepts and skills to students. The author led a team of faculty and graduate teaching assistants in an information literacy pilot project at the University of Nevada, Reno, in the spring of 2000. This article reviews planning, execution, and student/faculty assessments of the project, discusses future plans based on the project's results, and relates the UNR experience to librarians' subsequent efforts to promote information literacy.
