Undergraduate students have access to enormous amounts of information yet 
often fail to understand how to locate and use information effectively and 
ethically.  This article describes a unique collaboration that embeds the 
five information competencies in a specific course and delivers instruction 
in information literacy from both the content faculty and the librarian.  
Embedding the information competencies into the curriculum transforms a 
complex process into a series of small achievable steps and delivers 
instruction at the student’s point of need, resulting in improved information 
literacy.
