Welcome to LR10 - Information Skills
Welcome to LR10 - Information Skills
Hi there, my name is Aaron Richardson and I am your instructor for LR10. I have been a librarian at SCC for about 5 years, and a college Humanities teacher before that. I am currently working from home-- like the rest of you (and the rest of the most of the world). I'm available by email or if you want we can do a Google Meet or Zoom meeting if there is something you'd like to discuss "in-person".

My view is that education is for freedom-- that freedom of mind which enables us to attain to the highest and best version of yourself. It is through discipline, the various disciplines of education, and the pursuit of excellence that we are able to become free. And-- ultimately-- this disciplined freedom aims at happiness, our greatest good.
My role is to support you in attaining an education, an excellent education, one that aims at the highest things.
Though the course is online, the skills we will acquire are equally real. This is "the real world" to the extent that we invest our mental and emotional energy in the work we do.
If you ever need any help, I am here for you.
An information literate person is one who knows when information is needed, how to search for and find it, how to evaluate it for trustworthiness and relevant, and how to use it in a responsible, ethical way. Our aim here is to become attain a higher and higher level of information= literacy.
