Editor's Notes
- Revise Pre-Search worksheet to incorporate more reflection and working with sources (combine with elements of research diary)
- Adapt simplified annotated bibliography rubric from assessment group and make a mandatory assignment Too many steps/make simpler
- Please encourage students to use libguide Assessment – “Couldn’t find/unaware of”
- The library has also created an online tutorial called Research Strategies/Search Strategies. It takes about 20 minutes to complete and students can print out a certificate of completion and turn it in to you. This activity is optional but highly recommended. You can assign the tutorial as homework and send this link to your students: http://libguides.lmu.edu/LibraryVisit
