- Title
Skillful Scaffolding: Using Information Literacy Techniques to Enhance Literature Studies.

- Abstract
Faculty frequently think they can (or have to) teach information literacy (IL) on their own, ignoring the resources of academic librarians on their campus. This article explores the benefits of an equal collaboration between a faculty member in literature and an academic librarian, describing in detail the project they created. By scaffolding assignments of increasing difficulty and working collaboratively, this system allows students to progress in their IL skills throughout the semester.
