An information literate person is equipped with the critical thinking skills necessary to successfully find, retrieve, analyze, and use information. Oesterle Library's Information Literacy and Instruction Program seeks to help imbue students with the knowledge, skills and mindset that will encourage them to approach the world as lifelong information literate learners and thinkers.

Oesterle's librarians provide students a variety of Information Literacy and Instruction services, including, but not limited to:

• Instruction sessions, including anything from a brief coaching session on a specific resource to an entire class period addressing the needs of a research assignment. If you'd like to schedule a research session, please contact your library liaison.
• Contact library@noctrl.edu for assistance.

The North Central College Library Services Information Literacy and Instruction Program has adopted as its guiding principles the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education from the Association of College and Research Libraries.
