As business and management instructors, we increasingly struggle with student inattention to information accuracy and quality in our courses, especially when student-based research is required and misinformation is more prevalent. Without the time to teach information literacy (IL) skills, we created a series of information sourcing (IS) prompts that were small and flexible enough to be deployed anywhere we might need IL reinforcement. We describe this “IS plug-in,” share challenges surrounding its creation and successful implementation across multiple courses, and explain its grounding in information literacy theory. We then provide insights and recommendations for future management education research that arose from experiences with the unique IS plug-in approach and in-depth application of new research in IL. We provide recommendations for expanding the IL Framework’s use and measurement, and improving our understanding of authority and information versus belief.

Waste Management Strategy in Developing Educational Tourism in Balikpapan City, East Kalimantan Province. The research objective was to find out strategies in the development of waste management education tourism carried out by the Office Technical Implementation Unit of Manggar’s Waste Processing Site. In addition, this study also aims to find out the implementing organization and the forms of cooperation carried out in developing waste management education tourism. The method used in this study is action research. The author examines the definition of action research into a field study with data collection techniques in the form of observation, documentation, and interviews. The results of the research findings were analyzed by the SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunities, threats) analysis model. The result is that the strategy for developing the Final Disposal Site in Manggar as a means of production, education, and recreation is based on the master plan of the Department of Landscaping and Funeral Services of Balikpapan City.
