Incorporating Information Literacy Skills into Analytical Chemistry: An Evolutionary Step
Mary M. Walczak and Paul T. Jackson
Department of Chemistry, St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN 55057

Abstract
We have developed Data Analysis and Information Technology assignments for our analytical chemistry course. These assignments require that students demonstrate how to: locate and effectively use Internet-based science resources; create and manage electronic information; evaluate the content and source of the information; and gain proficiency with an array of professional software tools related to the above processes. The assignments include finding Material Safety Data Sheet information, planning a trip to a professional meeting, inviting a seminar speaker to campus, and completing a literature review. We outline the information and communication skills that students develop in the context of this course and the undergraduate chemistry program as a whole.
Supplement
Several items described in this paper are available, including: a travel support and reimbursement request form; an example seminar invitation letter; and a template for an analytical chemistry literature review.
