Information literacy at Capella

It’s not enough to skim the surface of a search engine. Employers want information-savvy professionals who can nimbly research, analyze information, and monitor trends in the field. Informational research skills are vital for today’s competitive labor force.

Information literacy—the ability to identify, locate, evaluate, and use information effectively—is incorporated into every program we offer.

Library guides

The Capella Library has developed hundreds of instructional guides to help you achieve information literacy learning outcomes. Guides tend to fall into three main categories: program-level research guides, assignment-specific guides, and general research skills.

In-person residencies

Because the literature review is an integral part of dissertation preparation, our residency course room offers literature skill development lessons. Librarians also travel to residencies to offer one-to-one consultations based on faculty referrals. They consult on methodology research, reviewing the literature, topic exploration, tests/survey research, and more.
