This document discusses a first year seminar workshop on critical information literacy. It notes that first year students often have inefficient search strategies and feel overwhelmed by irrelevant search results when transitioning from high school to college libraries. The workshop teaches students that research is an iterative process that requires persistence and flexibility to find relevant information across the large number of books, journals, and databases available in a college library. It also discusses how subject headings in libraries have changed over time to be more inclusive on topics like homosexuality.
