This paper explores the critical role librarians play in promoting science literacy among undergraduate students. By examining the interconnected nature of information literacy, science literacy, and digital literacy in today’s digital landscape, this paper addresses the unique information needs of students and the implications of supporting them in becoming science-literate citizens. As information literacy instructors, librarians are essential facilitators of knowledge and learning in academic contexts. Practical recommendations are provided for librarians to design and deliver effective science literacy instruction.
Keywords: information literacy, science literacy, library instruction, undergraduate students
