First-Year Instruction (FYC & FYS)
The UT Libraries are a partner in first-year student success. Librarians lead instruction opportunities and develop customized learning resources designed for students enrolled in First-Year Composition, First-Year Experience, and Transition 201 courses.
Through participating in these experiences, students will be able to:
- Identify and locate different resources, services, and support available to them through the Libraries
- Utilize effective search strategies for getting started with research
- Describe ways of evaluating information resources before incorporating and citing these sources
- Begin to explore connections between their lived experiences and critical information literacy concepts
- Understand how they, as researchers and creators of knowledge, impact the Volunteer community
First-Year Composition (ENGL 101, 102, 112, 198, 298)
The Libraries provide FYC students with the chance to gain practical experience across a range of topics, including foundational information literacy skills, database exploration, primary source research, and more.
