For
Instructors This tutorial may be used
in a number of ways: - As an independent assignment outside of scheduled
class time in preparation for a research project or a library workshop
- As
a basis for a class discussion
- As a context for
designing research assignments
- As a tool for capturing
the stages of your students' research process.
The
worksheets linked to the left navigation menu of units 3-6 can be used in a number
of ways: - Students can use them to
explore their own topics, making notes and recording other information about their
search strategy. Providing this information can increase the quality of their
interactions with library staff and help you track their selection and use of
information sources.
- Students can mail the worksheets
to an instructor, to themselves, to a librarian, to a project team, or to all
of these, to support collaborative learning activities.
- Students
can use the worksheets to build a project portfolio in which they turn in their
final project (research paper, bibliography, presentation, etc.) and also some
evidence of the process by which they acquired and analyzed the sources that went
into its development. This approach discourages plagiarism by encouraging the
systematic development of ideas and their communication.
- The worksheets
can also be downloaded in either Adobe (.pdf) or MS Word (.doc) format from the
links to the right. The Word files can be easily modified to reflect your objectives.
- You may choose to create your own log or worksheet.

EdCC librarian for consultation on other effective uses for the tutorial.
