Information Literacy Policies

Information Literacy

A foundational aspect of the education provided at SAU is library instruction that will enable students to find, evaluate, and use information effectively, ethically, and legally.
  • Faculty members need to contact a librarian to schedule an information literacy session for their class.
  • Students or faculty in need of help with research are strongly encouraged to make appointments with the librarians.
  • When meeting with librarians, students, or faculty are encouraged to bring a copy of the assignment or research project for which they need help.
