The vision of the Information Literacy Program is for each CSUSM
graduate to research beyond Google. The mission of the
Information Literacy Program is to provide each CSUSM student
with an opportunity to become information literate. Information
literacy is more than teaching students how to use the library.
An information literate person is a lifelong learner who is able
to find, evaluate, and use information effectively to think
critically and make informed decisions. As Library faculty, we
are active partners with disciplinary faculty in developing
information literate students because we are experts in
information seeking behaviors, the structure and organization of
information, and how information is evaluated.
