Abstract
Rutgers University Libraries (RUL) have developed a strong partnership with the Rutgers Writing Program in the School of Arts and Sciences on its New Brunswick (NB) campus. Each semester, there are more than 50 sections of an undergraduate writing course, Research in the Disciplines, with over 90 percent of them requiring information literacy (IL) instruction. A large pool of skilled IL instructors is needed. To address that need, trained LIS students have traditionally been paid to teach in the program. One mutually beneficial option was to give LIS students enrolled in the School of Communication and Information’s graduate course, LIS 519: Information Literacy: Learning and Teaching, 10 percent credit to teach a one-shot (IL) session in the NB Rutgers Writing Program. Thus, these students were provided with a service learning experience within their graduate course.
