Plagiarism in higher education: tackling tough topics in academic integrity

Abstract

chapters historicize library instruction and make the case for a context-based approach; the remainder of Using Context revolves around the research process, with each chapter offering a grounding within the Framework and practical applications for credit-bearing information literacy courses, beginningand advanced-level course-related one-shot sessions, tutorials and online learning objects, reference desk interactions/reference consultations, and library programs. Additionally, Hosier provides numerous resources, including assignments and information on assessment, as well as “Questions for Reflection” designed to aid librarians as they rethink their pedagogy and practice. Hosier promotes a shift from a “how-to” model to a holistic one that embeds basic skills instruction within a comprehensive research environment and privileges curiosity and the ability to make thoughtful choices about the right source for the right context. Using Context in Information Literacy Instruction is both the right source for librarians who want to embrace that model and a valuable addition to libraries at institutions with LIS programs and IL collections.
