What We Teach
During a live instruction session, librarians can provide a focused lesson on one of these learning outcomes or touch on a few of them more briefly:
- Search the SU Libraries catalog using title, author, and keywords.
- Search 1-2 specialized databases.
- Brainstorm research topics.
- Track the literature by finding sources from a list of references.
- Evaluate source credibility and authority.
- Distinguish between primary and secondary sources.
- Identify peer-reviewed and scholarly sources.
- Cite sources and avoid plagiarism.
How We Teach
In addition to live class sessions, librarians can provide asynchronous instruction by:
- Publishing an online research guide tailored to your specific course or assignment;
- Creating a video or interactive tutorial to walk students through a process;
- Participating in a Canvas discussion;
- Assisting with adding library resources to your Canvas course;
- Collaborating with you to design new research assignments.
