Instruction Program Goals and Objectives

Instruction Program Goals and Objectives

Community college students bring with them a wide range of abilities, preparedness, experiences, expectations, and personal, academic, and professional needs. Librarians support student success by recognizing students' strengths while building their skills, and by striving to close equity gaps in student achievement and retention.

The Holman Library Instruction Program identifies and teaches appropriate information literacy skills, and it implements appropriate outcomes and assessments across the four core instructional areas of Green River College. The library instruction program specifically targets for instruction high-impact courses across the college, including:

  • developmental classes in International Programs, Transitional Studies, and Academic Transfer divisions,
  • foundational courses in Academic Transfer that serve as prerequisites across campus,
  • upper- level courses in Academic Transfer and Prof-Tech Programs for discipline-specific information literacy instruction, and
  • BAS Programs for professional-level information knowledge, skills, and dispositions.
