You can assign or link to some of Lavery Library's online information literacy tutorials, guides, and videos.
Sharing some of these with your students may be especially helpful for transfer students who didn't take the Research-Based Writing course at Fisher.
You can either link to these in Brightspace or show any these in class. If you want other ideas or support, feel free to reach out to your course librarian or email us: libraryreference@sjfc.edu
Your Lavery Librarians have created two online self-guided tutorials especially for students in 3990.
Link: https://libguides.sjfc.edu/research-basics
Self-guided tutorial about using Lavery Library's resources in order to search for books, ebooks, and articles.
We recommend assigning this tutorial near the beginning of the term, when you are asking students to start searching for scholarly sources.
If you would like to ensure your students completed this tutorial, librarians have a short quiz available. Contact your designated course librarian or email us if you would like to embed it into your course within the course management system: libraryreference@sjf.edu.
Link: https://libguides.sjfc.edu/scholarly-article
Self-guided tutorial about the anatomy of a scholarly article. Includes an example of an article that presents research findings, as well as a humanities article.
You can assign this after students have completed the Research Basics at Lavery Library. We designed this for students to use when they are beginning to search for scholarly articles.
If you would like to ensure your students completed this tutorial, librarians have a short quiz available. Contact your designated course librarian or email us if you would like to embed it into your course within the course management system: libraryreference@sjf.edu.
