Information Literacy Modules
McKee Library's instruction team is pleased to offer web-based, self-paced information
literacy modules which can be easily integrated into eClass. These modules are available
both as stand-alone instructional components and also as units, as outlined below.
Video lengths typically range between two and five minutes. Tutorials include text,
activities, and ungraded self-check points. To take advantage of the ungraded content
