SJLibrary.org, a collaboration of San Jose State University and San Jose Public Library system.

According to CSU Information Competence Initiative, the best way to ensure that students have the skills that they need is to design an information competence program integrated into the curriculum and built on strong alliances between classroom faculty and library faculty. Strategies will differ by department, but may include efforts based in Freshman Orientation/Seminar Courses, General Education Courses, Cornerstone Classes in Each Discipline, or Information Competency Mastery Requirements. Several partnerships between Subject Liaison Librarians and classroom faculty are currently underway to integrate information competency into department and college curricula at SJSU.

• Art
• Biology
• Business
• English
• Engineering
• History

Much work remains to be done to make sure that every San Jose State University Student discovers, evaluates, and uses information resources effectively during and after the college years. If you are a classroom faculty member interested in how you can integrate information competence learning outcomes into your course assignments or department curriculum, please contact your Librarian Subject Liaison.
