George Hodge Receives 2002 NCSU Libraries Faculty Award
By Carol Vreeland, Research and Information Services
George L. Hodge, an associate professor in the Department of Textile and Apparel,
Technology and Management at NC State's College of Textiles, received the 2002
NCSU Libraries Faculty Award. This award is presented annually to an NC State
faculty member in recognition of his or her outstanding contributions that
support the Libraries' mission and its role within the university. The award
was presented at the Friends of the Library's annual Fall Luncheon on November
1, 2002. Hodge is a strong advocate of the Libraries, fully supporting its
role as an essential component of the university's mission. Since fall 1998
he has collaborated with librarians at the Burlington Textiles Library to integrate
information literacy instruction into his courses using an innovative curriculum-based
approach. Library staff and Hodge jointly designed assignments for his course "Production
Management Decisions for Textile Operations." Hodge's success in fostering
research-level information literacy among his students, his successful linkage
of information assignments directly to the course curriculum, and his incorporation
of significant library instruction sessions into the course laid the foundation
for a move to a curriculum-integrated instruction model within the College
of Textiles.
