a qualitative study: faculty and librarians collaborate
DESCRIPTION
Faculty and Librarians discuss the results of a qualitative study conducted on student research. The investigators held focus groups with students in several Arts & Sciences courses to better discern their research habits. Presenters will also suggest ways in which faculty and librarians can work together to address issues of information literacy. The investigators will reflect on challenges to incorporating information literacy into a new core curriculum that is using LEAP outcomes.TRANSCRIPT
