Library Workshops for Fall 2019

The library provides workshops for you to learn how to do library and information research. The goal oof these workshops is based on the mission of information literacy, which is that you, the student, learn  research skills that make you independent and life-long learners. If requested by your teacher, extra credit slips are available. 

Description:

Library and Information Research

These 60 minute extra-credit workshops, held in the library's lecture room, will teach library and information research skills using print and electronic resources. They will also introduce the library's services and resources. Students will learn to identify and access the various library and information resources; to identify scholarly (peer-reviewed) journals; to search discipline-specific and advanced electronic resources; to do research on the web; to evaluate search results for credible resources; to cite their sources in either MLA or APA styles; and to understand how the proper use and citation of library and information resources helps avoid plagiarism.
