Proposals for 2012-2013 Information Fluency Grants are now being accepted. The deadline to submit proposals is Friday, January 13, 2012.

Full-time members of the faculty (including permanent lecturers) are eligible.

Although courses that have a strong writing component are well-suited to teaching the research process, information fluency can be appropriately taught through coursework in any discipline and at any level. Librarians will work closely with faculty members to ascertain what kinds of informational fluency and research skills students at different points in their academic careers and from various majors need to have. One of the goals of these courses is to build upon work that students have previously done and help them to prepare for the challenges that they will face in the rest of their time at IU.

Successful proposals will demonstrate how students will benefit from the opportunity to gather information, analyze and select sources, and use the information to learn and create new knowledge.
