Decker Library Information Literacy Program

Our Teaching Methodology

Inspired by the principles of critical librarianship and active learning techniques, the Instruction Program seeks to support all MICA students and promote and open and inclusive academic environment here at MICA.

Decker Library's Instruction Program is centered around a commitment to information literacy and draws heavily upon the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy.

Topics for instruction can include anything from getting started with research to specific workshops on copyright and digital images.
