A session in research strategy can help your students become more productive and effective information seekers. Freshman Seminar and English 100 courses are coordinated by Liz Kocevar-Weidinger, Instruction Librarian. Upper level classes will be directed to the respective department Library Liaison. Sessions should be scheduled to coincide with occasions when students will be working on their research. Library Instruction is most effective when it is related to a class assignment, so librarians tailor the class to the specific research needs of the class.
Students learn to select, use and evaluate sources pertinent to their topic.
This class is most appropriate for introductory research classes whose students have little or no experience in an academic library. It provides an overview of the Library, its services, and basic research strategies. The liaison librarian for an academic department will provide course-related library instruction by faculty request. Topics may vary widely, from instruction on how to use the Internet to searching databases in a particular field of study. Please contact your liaison librarian for further information or to request instruction.
