The 2009 Spring Semester is in full swing at USF, and students ranging from freshmen to graduate students are struggling with their assignments. Some are having trouble finding peer-reviewed articles, while others are trying to figure out how to cite what they are finding.
Your students are trying to develop their information literacy skills. But they need your help.
Which skills a student develops and to what degree depends a great deal upon the kind of assignments you give them, the instructions you provide, and the instructional resources you provide them (such as links to online tutorials in the class Blackboard site).
This blog is intended to provide you with ideas, tips, techniques, resources, questions, answers, and whatever else can help you help your students. Whether it's formulating a research question, choosing a database to search, identifying search terms, evaluating sources, or citing sources in a particular style, this blog will attempt to cover the range of topics related to information literacy skills and their development among university students.
I hope that you find it helpful, and your feedback will always be appreciated.
