by Anne Jumonville, C&RL News February 2014 Central research questions: "How do nonlibrarian faculty adopters of information literacy in the humanities incorporate information literacy in a variety of disciplines? What are their conclusions about the results of this effort?" Argues that it is possible to integrate information literacy concepts as outlined by ACRL standards into assignments in the humanities classroom where the assignments add value to the research process and student learning. Strategy 1: Assigning annotated bibliographies, some which asked for a reflection of the research process to be included in the annotation, creating online annotated bibs that allowed for links to sources. Strategy 2: Using online discussion forums to talk about the research process.

Four volume zine on info lit by academic librarian. I really love this non-tech, low-budget approach to providing materials about bibliographic instruction. It's a great way to think about non-traditional formats in academic settings.

Fantastic video by NCSU libraries, just over 3 minutes long, explaining the best way to select a topic for a short research paper. I really like that this shows the common pitfall of selecting a topic, then doing research, and feeling stuck because, as it turns out, there are no scholarly resources. This explains the process to students about having an idea, doing some exploratory research, tweaking your topic, etc. Really nice production quality, too.
