Teaching and Learning Support

The Libraries is committed to developing the information and digital literacy of UT students, and to fostering and supporting pedagogical practices to ensure development of those literacies. Library staff members approach instruction through the lens of critical information literacy. Critical information literacy prioritizes active learning that asks students to interrogate structures of authority so that they progress from information consumers to knowledge creators.
