Although fewer and fewer students are taking courses under the old Core Curriculum, there are still a fair number of transfer students who are not yet part of the GenEd curriculum. All of these students still taking the Core Curriculum were required to take and pass a library research tutorial called TILT, Temple’s Information Literacy Tutorial. But no more. As part of the President’s initiative to reduce the burdens of the University’s dysfunctional rules and policies, a decision was made to eliminate the TILT requirement. Here is the exact language of the Committee that voted on the change: The Education Programs and Policies Committee of the Faculty Senate agreed to revise the Core Curriculum at their November 19th meeting: • the Temple Information Literacy Tutorial (TILT) will no longer be required to graduate. This change is effective immediately, i.e. this applies to Core students graduating January 2010 and forward. Since this is effective immediately the Temple University Libraries will remove the presence of TILT from our website. As we move forward, current and new students will learn how to become effective researchers through the GenEd program. Though TILT served us well and is now going away, self-guided tutorials do have their place in learning effective research methods. We will continue to develop instructional tutorials and other materials that will help students to become better researchers through self-guided methods.
