[Plsugs] FW: ULIB 197R - Library Research Couse

[Tanya Quist]

Subject: ULIB 197R - Library Research Couse

 

The UA Libraries would like to make students aware of our one-credit, online
information literacy course, the Online Research Lab (ULIB 197R). This
course has been specifically developed for undergraduate students to take
simultaneously with their first-year composition course (ENGL 102 or 108),
and is designed to provide them with the skills needed to conduct effective
and efficient academic research in their composition course and beyond.
Each week students explore different sources of information including the
Library, websites, and academic databases, and learn to locate, analyze, and
use information directly related to the assignments in their composition
course. The course is specifically paced to help students learn and use
these tools at the points in the semester when they will need them. Students
who successfully complete the course will gain the skills that will allow
them to:

.         Develop an effective and well thought-out research strategy

.         Access and select an appropriate Library resource for an
information need

.         Effectively use different information sources including library
catalogs and databases

.         Evaluate an information source critically 

.         Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose

.         Use an information source in a manner that does not violate
ethical standards 

 

This course is listed under "Library Studies," ULIB197R, in the schedule of
classes.
