Online Learning Support: How to Access Library Resources

You can consult with your librarian to develop assignments based on these modules:

• Research 101 tutorial – This guided series of activities leads students through the core principles of academic research as understood by the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL).
• Citation Help - Your students can find MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE citation help and style guides here.
• Annotated Bibliographies – Resources and examples for creating meaningful and useful annotations.

You can use these tutorials for fundamental information literacy skills to inspire online assignments & assessments, on your own or in collaboration with your librarian:

• University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee – A scaffolded set of text and video tutorials that introduce different aspects of information literacy, including a section for faculty to more easily incorporate this content into a lesson.
• Castleton University – A fully text-based tutorial that walks through all steps of identifying information needs to finding information sources to evaluating sources.  (use would require some tailoring to avoid confusion with institution-specific resources)
• McHenry County College – A solid set of text tutorials that walk students through the stages of the research process, paying particular attention to developing a research topic, plan, and foundation of information.
