Teaching​ Information Literacy and Writing Studies

This volume, edited by Grace Veach, explores leading approaches to teaching information literacy and writing studies in upper-level and graduate courses. Contributors describe cross-disciplinary and collaborative efforts underway across higher education, during a time when fact or truth is less important than fitting a predetermined message. Topics include: working with varied student populations, teaching information literacy and writing in upper-level general education and disciplinary courses, specialized approaches for graduate courses, and preparing graduate assistants to teach information literacy.
Grace Veach holds an MA in library science from Northern Illinois University, and an MA and a PhD in English rhetoric and composition from University of South Florida. She is the chair of Foundational Core and was formerly dean of libraries at Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida, where she founded the Writing Across the Curriculum and Writing Intensive programs. Veach has published in the areas of library science, literature, and rhetoric and composition.
"This book sets itself apart from existing works on information literacy by treating the subject both as a practice and an area of study and scholarship. It is a much-needed resource, which, I am sure, will be used by students and teachers of upper-level and graduate classes in several related fields, as well as by scholars."
