In 2003, a senior lab demonstrator (SLD) and the biological sciences liaison librarian discussed these issues as well as the information literacy skills that biology students were lacking. The SLD was responsible for designing, organizing and providing laboratory sessions for BIOL 2P92: Animal Form, Function and Diversity. She was a strong supporter of the library, and, with her support and advice, the librarian designed an assignment for a second year biology laboratory session. The assignment was worth two percent of their final grade.
