CIL Award for Faculty | CILLAB

Pfau Library Critical Information Literacy Award

Purpose of the Award

The purpose of the award is to support faculty in integrating critical information literacy into their courses. Support will include a $300 stipend to faculty who participate in two workshops and produce and present a report. In this year’s workshops, participants will focus on their discipline’s unique ways of creating, sharing, and using information. Pre-reading, discussion, and reflection about disciplinary knowledge practices, along with an examination of the Association of College & Research Libraries’ Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, will lead participants to a deeper understanding of how to best integrate information literacy into their courses.

Eligibility

All part-time, full-time, tenured or tenure-track CSUSB faculty are eligible for project support. Faculty who teach General Education courses are encouraged to apply.
