An Introduction to Library ResearchThis course will help you develop the research and information seeking skills you’ll need to become effective writers and scholars. You’ll learn to find and use information.
This one-credit class is required for some students to graduate. However, if you're a new freshmen, using the 07-08 catalog of courses, you won’t need to take this course. In fact, we will no longer offer Lib 150 after the 08-09 academic year.
After completing the course, you should be able to:
- Locate information (published in many formats) on a chosen subject using research tools including library catalogs, periodicals indexing/abstracting services, the Internet and more;
- Critically evaluate the content, quality and credibility of information sources;
- Cite sources using the MLA citation style;
- Use a variety of information sources to satisfy an information need;
- Articulate and apply an ethical framework for completing research and written work at the college level, and
- Reflect upon research strategies used for the course to formulate better approaches for the future.
Finding information in an information-filled world can be overwhelming. Library 150 will provide a road map to the resources and information you need.
