BMCC Library Information Literacy Workshop Program 

The BMCC Library Information Literacy Workshop Program is a series of online and f2f workshops hosted by library faculty to provide BMCC students with foundational information literacy skill training. The program is designed for students in English and Speech pathway courses (English 100 and Speech 100). These workshops accompany the new asynchronous information literacy instruction model currently being implemented by the library department and seeks to provide students with supplemental training around the asynchronous materials that are being incorporated in their English and Speech courses.  

Program Details 

The information literacy skills workshop program is a series of 90-minute workshops that begins with an overview of the basic research skills toolkit found on the BMCC Information Literacy Program Open lab website Research Skills Toolkit – BMCC Library Information Literacy Program (cuny.edu)  and then focuses on components of the Speech and English subject databases found on the BMCC Library website Databases | BMCC Library (cuny.edu). Each workshop will then end with a 20-minute guided research period where students conduct real time research for their Speech and English course assignments with the assistance of the library instructor.
