No Pass course designed to teach the nature of research and the role of the library in the research process. Class meets weekly in the Davidson Library, Room 1575.
Assignments are due in class each week.
INT 1 introduces students to the resources and services of the UCSB Library. Students will come away from this course with an understanding of how to integrate library resources and materials into the academic research process. Students will acquire the skills necessary to use and apply print, computer, and Internet resources to locate appropriate material on typical undergraduate research questions. In addition, students will learn the basics of doing research in printed indexes and abstracts. Evaluation of resources will also be an important component of this course.
