The library has an information literacy skills program based on web-based tutorials and online testing. The version designed for English 24-level classes, introduces students to the various types of information sources (books, periodical, and electronic), and gives basic information about how to find information from these sources. The version designed for English 100-level classes covers these topics in greater depth, and also teaches students how to use specific research tools, and addresses the evaluation of found information for accuracy, bias, and reliability. Mastery of the material is assessed through a Laulima quiz.
For more information, please call a librarian at (808) 455-0379, or e-mail lccref@hawaii.edu
You can request to have materials from the Pearl City campus and other UH system libraries sent for pick-up at the Waiʻanae Moku Education Center. See the intra-system loan page for more information about requesting materials. . When you place your request, choose "Leeward CC Waianae Moku" from the Pick Up Location menu. Be aware that you'll get the e-mail notification that the item is ready before it's actually available for pickup at Waiʻanae Moku, because the message is automatically generated when the item is processed at Pearl City.
You can also browse the Waiʻanae Moku non-circulating print books collection. Please note that these items are to be used on-campus only. Contact a librarian for more information.
Library items can be returned to Danny Wyatt at the front desk.
