Suggested guidelines for faculty to consider when creating assignments using library resources
- When creating an assignment, check with a librarian about the availability of resources.
- Unless you have evidence to the contrary, assume your student has limited research skills.
- Avoid having all students look for the same information (and resources) by assigning more than one topic.
- Make sure the assignment is clearly defined. Indicate acceptable sources and/or acceptable types of resources. Include format and length requirements.
- Send a copy of your syllabus and/or assignments to the library. This will help us to help your students when they come to us with questions.
- Request library instruction for your class in order to introduce students to the library resources. We can also create subject specific instruction for your classes.
- When assignments are completed, check back with the librarians for information on how students did with the assignment. Were they clear or confused?
