I’m a reference and instruction librarian supporting the Department of Psychology. I provide research support, develop course-integrated content, and create customized library guides in these and related topics.
The best way to reach me is by email. I'm happy to assist via email, Zoom, or in person; just let me know what works best for you.
The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) defines information literacy as the ability for students to "recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information." In 2010, ACRL approved information literacy competencies for undergraduate students in psychology. These are based on the general information literacy competencies from ACRL AND the APA Guidelines for the Undergraduate Psychology Majors (2007).
Intro
Materials in the field of psychology are intended to cover a range of curricular and research needs for undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. Defined as one of the social sciences, psychology has interdisciplinary ties to sociology, social work, education, anthropology, medicine, political science, and business. In addition, psychology has relationships with natural sciences such as biology, zoology, mathematics, and physiology. The collection supports the research needs of faculty and graduate students, while at the same time keeping abreast of changing developments within the field. It also supports the curriculum, including materials that reflect the needs of students.
