Abstract

If one wants to change the pedagogical focus of the educational ocean of a university, there is the need to dip into the profound waters of the curricular structure, a complex task to achieve by libraries. In this paper, the strategy to change academic courses, the basic blocks of curriculum, of undergraduate programs at CETYS University, with a generic information literacy rubric for professors, is described. The rubric generated by a faculty and library committee offers guidelines on how to implement information fluency pedagogical approaches and add quality information resources to their syllabi.
