Library & Technology

  

Electronic technologies provide countless learning opportunities for students. The skills, strategies, processes, attitudes, and knowledge that they need to function responsibly and productively in this environment have been and are continuously changing. Effective learners are not just those who are knowledgeable, but rather they are people who are able to find and use information as required; we might say that successful learners are those who are information literate.

Creating information literate and technologically savvy individuals who think critically, creatively, and collaboratively to solve real-world problems and communicate effectively is a major goal of the academic program, which has a unique and powerful partnership with the resources available through the Library & Media Center.
