Tips
We assist students daily with a wide range of research and library assignments. If you see a student struggling with research assignments, please keep in mind that they can set up an appointment with a librarian for one-on-one help.
Years of experience and observation has taught us, that you can also help your students be successful by following these tips:
- Avoid limiting students to print-only journal articles. Most of our subscriptions are electronic only.
- Avoid sending an entire class to find one specific resource at the library.
- Please work with us when creating scavenger hunts, and check back for updates each semester (check out some of our pre-designed treasure hunts that you might use!)
- Concentrate on evaluating resources, rather than excluding or limiting to specific resource types
- Collaborate with a librarian on designing a research assignment, or consider having a librarian test-drive your assignment!
