Introduction
PURPOSE:
This website
reports Cuyamaca College Library faculty's attempt to develop Student
Learning Outcomes for Library Program.
MISSION:
Our mission is to enable students to develop a
range of information competency skills that we have identified as
important for graduates to possess. We
shall provide quality library instruction to assure that our students are
adequately prepared to find and evaluate information and to do research for
their courses.
Goal #1:
Students will gain information competency skills through one-on-one
assistance at the Reference Desk, Library Orientations and LIR classes.
Information competency is an integrated view of
critical thinking and information-retrieval skills. It is not independent of
other disciplines. The Library
faculty impacts student
learning both directly and indirectly. For
example, Librarians teach students directly through library instruction
sessions and in one-on-one direct encounters at the Reference desk. The outcome is that as students progress
through their college courses, they will achieve an increased level of
information competency.
Goal #2: Students will gain information competency
skills using print and online collections.
The aim of the Library’s collection development program is to provide
students with materials that directly support of the academic programs.
Materials provided include library print collection, e-source collection,
e-database collections, media collections, and website collections.
Goal #3:
Students will gain information competency skills
using technical
services and facilities.
The library has a strong service
commitment, which connects CC students to information resources.
The library faculty and staff provide
competent and professional service.
The library staff also creates a physical environment conducive to study and
research.
Student Learning Outcomes
The Library faculty have identified
seven
(7) program student
learning outcomes, created an
assessment plan matrix. We are currently
designing
assessment tools. Our findings and conclusions
will be documented.
