I have enjoyed teaching this class since the fall of 1997. Fifteen semesters. I took a sabbatical in 2000 during which I created the CD ROM on Information Literacy which we use with this class. We started in the classroom when the World Wide Web was just beginning. We then went to hybrid and later online. An archive going back to 2003 is available below. Thank you to all the wonderful students who have taken this course. You have taught me so much! -- Joy Chase, Librarian.
