Abstract:

What does it mean to turn the research paper inside out? How can students engage with the ACRL Framework for Information LIteracy for Higher Education and dissect it in order to achieve lasting, impactful research? What role does the academic library play in the general curriculum? With these questions in mind, we embarked on the creation of a semester-long course that sought to not only prepare students to become more than just consumers of information but also to be active participants in the scholarly conversation.
