- Evaluating and using Internet resources
- Using special collections materials as primary sources for original research
Make the library session more effective!
- Discuss the paper or project with your class before the research session. Tell students to come prepared with a specific research topic in mind.
- Schedule the session close to a project's due date so that there is a direct connection between what students learn and its immediate application.
- Attend the session with your students. You are the best one to answer questions about the assignment and how the resources can help them.
- Schedule your library session at least two weeks in advance.
