Library News for WVWC Faculty
September 2013
A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.
–William Styron
“A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight.”
--Robertson Davies
Thinking About What We Read
Information Literacy
October is National Information Literacy Awareness Month!
- Information Literacy involves these things and more! The Library has partnered with Literati to create a customized module for strengthening these skills.
- You can access it here, or on the Literati Page.
- You can assign it for your students, and we will notifiy you when they have completed it. Great for enrichment, review, or an extra credit opportunity!
- For more information on the standards, and for pedagogy and assessment:
