I have a BS in Mathematics with a minor in Philosophy from Benedictine University, an MLIS from Dominican University, and an MA from University of Nebraska - Kearney.
I've been a librarian since 2007 and I've been at MCC since 2008.
My teaching philosophy focuses on active learning and exploring. You are active participants in the session.
I want you to ask questions! Everything we do should be a conversation and there are things we'll all learn together.
At the completion of the ENG 151 information literacy unit, students will be able to:
Distinguish between popular and scholarly materials.
Distinguish between primary and secondary sources and identify the format of the information they are using.
Distinguish fact from opinion and evaluate bias in a source.
Evaluate the quality of a resource and judge the suitability of a resource to the information need.
Additionally, we'll practice:
Using AI tools like Perplexity and Primo Research Assistant to locate sources
Reflect on how AI can help with searching and identify limitations
