Association of College & Research Libraries:
Framework for Information Literacy
- Authority Is Constructed and Contextual
- Information Creation as a Process
- Information Has Value
- Research as Inquiry
- Scholarship as Conversation
- Searching as Strategic Exploration
Notes for draft #1:
- Your essay might take the form of a conventional academic essay focusing on synthesis
- Or your essay might take the form of an exploratory essay; or, if you prefer, get all Leslie Jameson about it
Things to keep in mind:
- Writing Center
- Office Hours
- Oxford English Dictionary
- You are well positioned to be 80% done with your essay when you sit down to start writing it, “because ‘writing’ is mostly gathering and structuring ideas”
- Trust yourself to notice things; write with confidence.
