Nursing (B.S.N) Program Plan

Information Literacy Mapped to Nursing (B.S.)

At EKU Libraries, we believe that teaching students to critically engage with information is fundamental to their academic success. Our Information Literacy Program is designed to equip students with the skills they need to thrive as researchers, thinkers, and informed citizens.

This curriculum map outlines core information literacy outcomes for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The table below uses shorthand versions of these outcomes. For full descriptions and examples of how they’re applied in the classroom, visit our Information Literacy Learning Outcomes.

Achieving our information literacy goals requires a strong partnership between librarians and faculty. By working together, we can create a cohesive and impactful learning experience for students. Faculty expertise in subject matter combined with librarians' information literacy knowledge creates a powerful synergy. This collaboration ensures that information literacy instruction is relevant, timely, and integrated into the curriculum.

  • Librarians can provide faculty with tailored workshops, research guides, and or other digital learning objects on research methodologies.
  • Faculty can offer insights into student learning needs and challenges, helping librarians refine their instruction.
  • Co-creating assignments and assessments allows us to effectively measure student learning outcomes and make data-driven improvements to our programs.
