University of Guelph Library
Information Literacy skills (aka good research practices) required to conduct university-level research based assignments need to be learned. University of Guelph librarians will partner with departments and faculty to ensure that our students develop information literacy skills in all disciplines.
We will partner with you to help your students to:
- Better frame their research questions
- Access academically appropriate sources
- Evaluate sources and content
- Use information appropriately
- Understand issues affecting the use of information
- Observe copyright laws, and better understand academic integrity
We will do this by:
- Assisting you in creating Information Literacy
- Learning objectives
- Research assignments and;
- Grading rubrics for the research portions of papers and assignments
- Instructing research best practices sessions tailored specifically for your course and discipline

Individual research consultations, formerly provided by the liaison librarians, are now being offered by both the Learning and Curriculum Support Team (L&CS)
and the Research Enterprise and Scholarly Communications Team (RE&SC)
. Each of these teams will be focusing on different user needs according to their respective mandates, with L&CS concentrating on development of information literacy skills and RE&SC focusing on supporting faculty and grad students during the research process. The teams will work in close cooperation in order to complement each others’ services.
The L&CS Team is responsible for consultations with undergraduate students, as well as for working with graduates who require information literacy skills or who are working on a class assignment.
The RE & SC will be providing consultation services for faculty, graduate students working on thesis/dissertation-related research, research assistants and those requiring support with issues related to scholarly communications (publishing, open access, etc). RE & SC will also coordinate and provide support for the costed delivery of research consultation services to affiliated and non-affiliated researchers.
