Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

As a Reference Associate in Business and Government documents at New York University’s Bobst Library, one of my responsibilities includes teaching classes on navigating the library homepage, catalog, databases, and bibliographic tools, such as Refworks. I wanted to increase my teaching skills, therefore I decided to take Instruction and Information Literacy with Professor Clay Willams, who has over 20 years experience in Information Literacy and is currently Deputy Chief Librarian at Hunter College Libraries. Over the semester, I have developed my own teaching philosophy, learned how to assess my audience, examined several teaching theories, and researched numerous library literacy topics.
