Librarians work with students to make them independent, self-sufficient information users. Adapting the American College & Research Libraries (ACRL) Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, to our programs here at Babson, we have the following goals for students at both the undergraduate and the graduate level:

After completion of required courses the information literate student:

 

Has familiarity with library facility, resources and services

Can conduct global company/organization and industry research

Evaluates information and its sources critically

Understands the value of information and uses it ethically

Librarians work as partners with students in the identification, use, and evaluation of information sources. We begin by providing library sessions to all students at the beginning of their first year at Babson. Research guides, open workshops, individual and group consultations, plus faculty-requested LibGuides, and live demonstrations on research strategies for specific class projects are examples of additional services we provide.
