General Comment:  I think we need to discuss and decide if we are writing outcomes for a single class session or for a student who has completed a degree at Cornell.  I was originally thinking the former. But perhaps we should consider the later.  In either case, it might be useful to have a brief statement regarding this. 

ACRL 1: The information literate student determines the nature and extent of the information needed.

...

Condensed version: Students will develop an understanding of how scholarly information is formally and informally produced in order to investigate and select from a variety of  information sources relevant to their field of inquiry. (Lynn)

Students will determine the nature and extent of information needed for their research. (Tony)

ACRL 2:  The IL student accesses needed information effectively and efficiently

...

Condensed: Students will be able to find and use relevant information sources available from the library's catalogs, databases, and full-text resources, as well as from sources freely available on the Web, in order to access needed information effectively and efficiently. (Lynn)

Students will apply an appropriate research strategy in order to navigate the Library's collections effectively and efficiently and use sources available beyond the Library as appropriate.  (Tony)

ACRL 3 : The IL student evaluates information and its sources critically and incorporates selected information into his or her knowledge base and value system.

...

Condensed: Students will be able to evaluate selected information sources based on objective criteria of authority in order to select appropriate sources for their research.

Students will critically analyze and evaluate information sources and select appropriate sources to use for their research. (Tony)

ACRL 4 :The IL student, individually or as a member of a group, uses information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose

• Students will analyze and synthesize the information they find in order to accomplish a specific purpose (a paper, presentation, movie, etc.). Let's stick with this one.

ACRL 5 : The IL student understands many of the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information and accesses and uses information ethically and legally.

  Students will understand the legal and ethical dimensions of information use in order to abide by Cornell's Code of Academic Integrity and \[understand\] the broader social context.

• Students will demonstrate an understanding of the ethical and legal issues surrounding the use of information in order to use, cite, and acknowledge information sources appropriately. I like this one.
