As more and more digital information available online, the ability to conduct proficient information retrieval (IR) is becoming a key factor for success in almost any career. However, integration of IR into undergraduate curricula has not kept up with this demand. To address primary problems in the current college-level IR education, this paper proposes a module-based curricular model, which facilitates the development of an array of IR modules that enable flexible adoption and integration. These modules, including general IR modules mainly designed for IT/CS programs, and discipline-oriented IR modules based on specific disciplines such as Biology and Psychology, can be adopted based on the specific needs of different universities and programs.
