Information Literacy Sessions

With the vast array of growing information each year, it has become vital that students develop comprehensive information literacy skills in order to become lifelong learners.  This is where librarians can aid you in educating Alvernia's students.

Contact one of the librarians (Opens in New Tab) to schedule a class. Recorded sessions can also be arranged for asynchronous classes.
