The English professors and a librarian have developed tasks to integrate information and technological skills in different courses. Two examples are going to be explained: Basic English I and II. The authors discuss how the standards of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) and the Big6 Skills Model were used to design the tasks.
