Abstract

In February 2005, a group of twenty IUPUI history students gathered in the lounge of University Library to paint a semester’s worth of research. The 4’ x 6’ mural that graces the walls of the 2nd floor corridor of the IUPUI Business/SPEA building is the final product of a multi-faceted research project rooted in librarian-taught information literacy skills. During a year long workshop for librarians interested in becoming more dynamically involved with learners’ acquisition, application, and retention of information literacy skills, an art related experience entitled Imag-ing Our Foremothers: Art as a Means of Connecting with Women’s History was conceived. The project had four major goals and two distinct components.
