Course-Integrated Assignment Design
The librarians can work with you to design a research assignment that matches the specifics of your course. This can take the form of a guided research process or simply a pathfinder of useful resources or many other approaches. A librarian session may or may not be included. We also can help you develop alternative ideas if you don’t want a formal research paper.
Contact info to get more information: Jeremy Donald, Keri Moczygemba, or go to your campus library.
Assignment Review
If you have an assignment that includes research but don’t want a librarian session or other more active involvement, consider having a librarian review it. We know of many resources, both online and in print, that you may not be aware of. We can help you steer your students away from simply relying on web pages and toward higher quality sources.
Contact any reference librarian to get more information.
