Abstract: This chapter argues that designing activities and paper topics with information literacy in mind can help to lay a foundation for critical engagement with digital approaches as well as to adumbrate for a non-specialist, undergraduate audience the distinctive challenges, pleasures, and intellectual value of studying the ancient world. This chapter contains a review of the recent shift in the theory and practice of information literacy in the United States and the description of specific projects I have assigned in class that include an information literacy objective.
