Introduction

PURPOSE: This website reports Cuyamaca College Library faculty's attempt to develop SLO's for the Library Program.

MISSION: Cuyamaca College has endorsed a system-wide goal for all students to graduate with the ability to find, evaluate, use and communicate information in all of its various formats.  This is what became known as “Information Competency” or IC.  A definition has emerged: Information competency is a set of skills that require the  student to recognize when information is needed and to be able to locate, evaluate, and use the needed information.

Our Library Program mission is to increase student information competency skills. We do this by providing the best library instruction, reference desk assistance, remote reference, and web access to databases and collections.
