Library Instruction That’s Out of This World! Information Literacy at Fort Lewis College

Abstract

Fort Lewis College is a four‐year, public, liberal arts college in Durango, Colorado. Typical enrollment is between 4,000 and 4,500 students. Librarians are tenure‐track faculty on 12‐month contracts. Library instruction has been provided over the years as typical one‐shot BIs for specific subjects and classes. About three years ago, faculty revamped the composition program. Library faculty were asked to teach a one‐credit library research course to complement the new COMP 150. In this article, Greenwood and Frisbie share the problem and the solution that led to LIB 150.
