Evidence
Different disciplines and courses are going to have different library resource needs. Although generic library information and contact points will assist students locate and use relevant information resources, discipline specific starting points and library instruction are necessary.

Snavely (2001) notes the pivotal role of Library staff in building information literacy. ‘Once standards have been adopted, Iannuzzi (2000, p. 65) suggests the following roles for librarians in building “the information literate student”: • Work with faculty to develop curriculum, syllabi, and assignments that focus on the research process and the development of information literacy… • Collaborate with faculty to help them define information literacy for their discipline…’

Resources
Evidence of capability in this practice is seen through the provision of a full range of library facilities and associated support and training information to assist students with their use. Information on using these services is provided both through the central library website as well as directly within courses where it is customized to reflect the needs of the particular discipline and learning outcomes
