Our dilemma
If learning is the process of turning information
into knowledge, in order to take effective
action, then we need to be strategic
about our use of information.

Role of Information Professionals in Supporting Teaching
and Learning
Identify course content – identify data sets and resources for course content, supplementary
readings, and teaching preparation (e.g., readings lists, annotated bibliographies)
Develop activities, assignments, collaboration spaces - identify ways to integrate the use of
data sets and information resources to meet learning objectives based on critical thinking,
problem-solving/decision making, analysis, synthesis, critical reflection skills development
(e.g., class activities, projects, papers, field study engagements)
Create information products - package resources in custom information products to support
assignment/learning objectives (e.g., information portals, knowledge centers, research
guides, wikis, etc.)
Provide information research skill development - delivery customized class, small group,
and/or individual student instruction (e.g., presentations, small group/individual consultation,
self-help tools)
Provide teaching support – using the world of business information, support faculty teaching
preparation throughout a course (e.g., case/company/industry updates, exhibit or course
content updates, fact-checking, literature search, teaching or technical co-authoring).
