Students are often told to cite their sources and not to plagiarize.  However, using information ethically involves more than knowing how and when to cite a source. In order to really get the need for the all of the complicated rules and regulations for accessing, sharing and using information, students need to develop an understanding of value of information.

Information Has Value is one of the six core information literacy concepts highlighted in the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (ACRL, 2015).  The next workshop in the University Libraries’ Information Literacy Workshop Series, scheduled for Wednesday, September 30, from noon - 1 p.m., will explore this core concept, identify some of the related student learning bottlenecks, and provide guidance for developing activities or assignments that you can use to help students enhance their understanding of the value of information.
