Abstract

This paper describes a newly designed graduate course developed and taught by a librarian. Basic information literacy attributes are emphasized in the course, enabling students to develop more specialized capabilities of locating, evaluating, and synthesizing research literature. Students in the course participate as members of a graduate cohort, so there is opportunity for them to evolve as a cohesive learning community. The theoretical framework of communities of practice is used to inform the instructional design of this course. Observations of early teaching and learning experiences as well as reflections upon this approach to course development are offered. doi:10.1300/J111v45n01_09
