Across all disciplines of study, the processes of research and inquiry give students a common experience for discovering, synthesizing and contributing to scholarly conversations. By creating opportunities for students to seek, analyze, and use knowledge to create something new, librarians and faculty influence students’ critical thinking and self-efficacy.  The learning experiences that evolve out of these inquiry-based research endeavors often transcend course content and disciplinary thinking, and help students establish a foundation of scholarly thought and critical awareness vital to their academic success and lifelong learning.

The Department of Teaching & Learning is dedicated to:

• connecting the libraries to student learning and the student experience at IUB
• collaborating with other librarians and faculty to integrate information literacy into the curriculum
• creating teaching-related opportunities for outreach to academic and non-academic departments
• collecting and documenting information literacy data libraries-wide for the purposes of assessment
