The mission of the Information Literacy Working Group (ILWG) at the Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery is to support the teaching and learning of information literacy on the UMBC campus. The group promotes excellence in the delivery of information literacy instruction, the development of quality instructional activities and learning objects, and the ongoing assessment of these components.

Goals that support this mission include:

• To foster an awareness of libraries and information literacy in lifelong learning within the UMBC community;
• To promote the integration of information literacy into the curriculum via collaboration among faculty, administrators, librarians, and students;
• To design intervention strategies for the UMBC community that increase information literacy;
• To determine and implement appropriate assessment techniques for evaluating the effectiveness of the Library's information literacy program, instructional materials, and learning objects.
